United Women return to Old Trafford for West Ham clash
Manchester United will face West Ham United at Old Trafford in the Barclays Women’s Super League later this season.
The WSL fixture is scheduled for 12:30 GMT on Saturday 25 March and will be the first women’s match at Old Trafford in 2023, following league fixtures against Everton and Aston Villa, and the sold-out opening game of the UEFA Women’s European Championships, in 2022.
More than 100,000 fans were in attendance across those three games last year and another big crowd will be expected in March, as fans continue to break attendance records at Leigh Sports Village.

United’s 6-0 victory over Liverpool last Sunday was watched by 7,666 supporters - the highest attendance at Leigh Sports Village in the WSL.
Marc Skinner’s team, who have a 100 per cent winning record at Old Trafford, have made a great start to this campaign and currently sit top of the table after Rachel Williams’s 87th-minute winner secured all three points away against Reading yesterday.
