Manchester United ended 2022 with a 4-0 league cup win against Championship side Sheffield United in their final fixture before the Christmas break with Adriana Leon and Martha Thomas netting two each at Leigh Sports Village.
Marc Skinner’s side started the game high in intensity as if they wanted to end the year with nothing left in the tank but the second half turned scrappy.
Leon broke the stalemate in the 12th minute of play when she capitalised on Aissatou Tounkara’s strike, only to backheel it into the net. She scored again at the end of the half to double United’s lead with a simple instep finish.
