Manchester United take on Manchester City this weekend

The Women's Super League returns to the fold with a massive fixture this weekend as Manchester United take on Manchester City on Sunday. Both teams have been fairly inconsistent this season and will want to win this game.

Manchester United are in third place in the Women's Super League standings and have been impressive this season. The Red Devils held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw in their previous game and will want to take it up a notch this weekend.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have flattered to deceive this season. The Cityzens suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Chelsea last week and will want to bounce back in this match.

Well played girls! 🤝
