Marc Skinner insists Manchester United’s history-making win against Everton at Old Trafford is just one small step towards propelling women’s football to the profile it deserves.
In United's first women’s game at Old Trafford in front of fans, Alessia Russo’s double and captain Katie Zelem’s penalty hauled United to a comfortable 3-1 win against the Toffees. Claire Emslie had given the visitors a shock lead in the fourth minute but Russo’s strikes either side of half-time, coupled with Zelem’s goal from the spot, ensured United moved three points ahead of rivals Manchester City in third.
A bumper crowd of 20,241 flocked to the Theatre of Dreams and United chief Skinner wants to seize on the window of opportunity.
