United Women bring up winning milestone
Thursday’s 3-0 victory away to Atletico Madrid was the 150th game Manchester United Women have won in the team’s eight-season history.
The milestone triumph, a comprehensive win in the club’s first-ever UEFA Women’s Champions League knockout tie, was arguably one of the Reds’ finest in 231 fixtures to date.
Elisabeth Terland, Melvine Malard and Julia Zigiotti got the goals in Spain, to give us a strong advantage heading into the second leg of our knockout play-off tie.

United have now won each of our last six games and eight of the last nine, a run which has featured outings in four different competitions.
That’s taken our tally for this season up to 20 victories from 29 total matches across the Barclays Women’s Super League, Adobe Women’s FA Cup, Subway Women’s League Cup and the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
The Reds need five more before the campaign closes to beat our record tally for triumphs in a single season, set at 24 in the Championship-winning term of 2018/19 and again in 2022/23, when we finished second in the WSL.

After the team's first 52 wins were recorded while Casey Stoney was in charge, 98 have followed under the guidance of head coach Marc Skinner, who is approaching a three-figure milestone of his own in this sense.
By location, 78 of the 150 have been registered in home fixtures, while Thursday’s triumph was the most recent of the 69 to come on the road.
Meanwhile, we’ve triumphed three times at neutral venues, a count that includes our 2024 FA Cup final success over Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley Stadium.

Skinner’s summary of an ‘excellent’ performance
ArticleMarc spoke about our team win over Atleti and a star turn from Melvine Malard in his post-match press conference.
As you may expect, the team’s home base of the Progress With Unity Stadium is the most prolific location when it comes to wins in matches we’ve hosted.
United have celebrated getting the better of our opponents 71 times in Leigh, while six victories have come in nine appearances at Old Trafford.
The Reds also won the only home game hosted away from those two venues, at Ewen Fields in Hyde, when London Bees were overcome in the 2018/19 FA Cup.

United will look to continue the march towards the 200 mark when another side from the capital visits on Sunday, in the form of London City Lionesses.
Skinner’s side will be aiming to make it seven wins on the bounce, in what is our last league game for a little over a month.
Tickets for the clash in Leigh are available here.
