Man Utd and Man City ramp up stakes ahead of blockbuster Women's Super League clash

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner says his side will be ready for the "intimidating" surroundings of an away derby when his team face Manchester City.

United head to City for a lunchtime WSL blockbuster on Sunday, with a crowd of around 40,000 expected at the Etihad Stadium. The Red Devils finished five points short of their neighbours last term but go into the first derby of the season second in the table, with City in fourth.

Skinner's side are getting used to playing in front of large crowds, having won 3-2 against Arsenal at the Emirates last month before thrashing Aston Villa 5-0 in front of a record crowd for a United women's home game. And the former Birmingham boss is predicting an intense atmosphere for the high stakes clash.
