Skinner: My young squad is fearless
United Women boss Marc Skinner is excited about Saturday’s FA Cup tie and a big 2025 for our young, fearless squad…
This Saturday’s game will kick off at 17:15 GMT, with live viewing available on the Women’s FA Cup YouTube channel and the FA Player.
The United App and ManUtd.com will also be keeping you up to date with line-ups, live match commentary and statistics throughout the 90 minutes.
TEAM NEWS
The Reds’ upcoming fixture will be our first game since the 15 December. It remains to be seen whether Ella Toone will be able to make her comeback, after injuring her calf in November.
United will be without Hayley Ladd for the first time in six seasons, as she has recently completed a transfer to Everton after 110 matches with the club. She will also team up with 18-year-old Emma Watson, who has also joined the Toffees, on loan for the remainder of the campaign.
Meanwhile, Grace Clinton will be hoping to celebrate her contract extension with a win. The talented midfielder has renewed her stay until at least 2026.
The fixture will be a moment to remember for Evie Rabjohn, as her 19-year-old sister Olivia plays for West Brom. Despite not being able for selection due to recovering from her long-term knee injury, Evie says the match will be “exciting” for her family.
Also, if United are to reach the final this year again, it will be the third year in a row we will have done so.

West Brom are in the third tier - the National League North Premier Division. They progressed to this stage with a 2-0 victory over Cheadle Town Stingers in the previous round.
