Polly Bancroft, Manchester United’s head of women’s football, said earlier this week:
“This game against Villa promises to be another special occasion as we continue to maintain our challenge at the top of the WSL and I know the players will be lifted by our fantastic supporters.
“Manchester United, as the biggest club in the country, is determined to lead the way in the growth of the women’s game – both on and off the field.
“So it is really special to see the excitement that is building for this fixture and it again demonstrates how much progress the women’s game is making, not just here but across the country.”
On Thursday afternoon, ahead of this weekend’s ground-breaking occasion, we published a new UTD Podcast with United Women star Alessia Russo and fans are loving it so far.
Across a feature-length interview, our in-form striker tells the story of her inspirational career and looks forward to playing in front of a massive crowd at Old Trafford on Saturday.
“I think we’ve had a few good preps for it [playing at Old Trafford], obviously last game at the Emirates and I think a few of us have played at Old Trafford before,”said the striker on the UTD Podcast, ahead of the clash with Aston Villa.
“I think we’re more excited [but our] prep’s no different. We just can’t wait to go out there in front of all our friends and family, and the fans, and hopefully give them a performance that they’re looking for.”
Alessia says that the occasion is as special for the players on the pitch as it is for the fans in the stands, who will follow Skinner’s team from Leigh Sports Village to the Theatre of Dreams.
“I think Leigh is a lovely pitch and we’ve got our own fanbase there,”
she said. “They follow us up and down the country and now we just want to keep it growing and getting bigger and better.
“For us as players, it’s amazing to play at Old Trafford, but I think it’s so nice to have the fans there. They don’t get to experience, especially us playing on it, week in, week out so when we can, it’s important for us that we give them a day to remember.
“They’re great and we can’t thank them enough for all the support they give us throughout the season.”
