The Football Association has approved Manchester United’s application to establish a professional women’s team in the FA Women’s Championship, starting later this year.

The team will be called ‘Manchester United Women’ and will be based at The Cliff, the club’s historic training ground in Salford, once redevelopment work has been completed.

Speaking of the successful application, Manchester United’s Executive Vice Chairman, Ed Woodward, commented:

“The board is delighted that the FA has approved the application. The new women’s team will build on the success of the Girls’ Regional Talent Club and have the same philosophy as all Manchester United sides, creating a pathway from academy to first team.
