September fixtures confirmed for United Women
Manchester United Women’s league schedule for September is now set, following the confirmation of TV picks for rounds two to four.
The details for our season opener were determined last month, as the Reds host Leicester City at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday 7 September, at midday.
Our subsequent three top-flight fixtures will also take place on a Sunday, starting with the trip to newly promoted London City Lionesses on 14 September.
The ambitious capital club have added former United forward Nikita Parris to a squad which already contains world stars Kosovare Asllani, Saki Kumagai and Danielle van de Donk, and they’ll be aiming to claim our scalp in the 12:00 BST kick-off at The CopperJax Community Stadium.
Highlights: United Women v Real Betis
United Women went goal mad on Saturday, as we faced Real Betis in Marbella…
United’s opening two games will be shown on Sky Sports+ but Arsenal’s visit to Leigh on Sunday 21 September is being broadcast on BBC1.
We take on the reigning European champions at 14:50 BST, in a game which could have big implications for the upper reaches of the Women’s Super League.
Another big clash follows seven days later, when we travel to St Helens Stadium to face Liverpool.
The Merseysiders finished seventh last term and will be tough opponents, having beaten us 3-1 in the equivalent fixture in March.
This game is a midday kick-off on Sky Sports Football as it stands, but this is still to be confirmed.
