Eni Aluko hails 'incredible' Man Utd progression and gives verdict on WSL season

Former England and Chelsea striker Eni Aluko has praised Manchester United's rapid rise in the Women's Super League - and says the nail-biting title race this season is important for the game.

Aluko had successful 18-year playing career representing the likes of Chelsea, Birmingham City and Juventus. Since hanging up her boots in 2020, she's gone on to work as a pundit and taken on sporting director roles with Aston Villa Women and Angel City over in the United States.

The former striker was present at Wembley on Sunday to watch the FA Cup showpiece between her former club and United. Emma Hayes' side were narrow 1-0 winners on the day, but there's plenty to admire about the Manchester club's progress in recent years.
