Manchester United were 4-0 victors in their opening WSL game against Reading on Saturday. A brace from debutant Maya Le Tissier and goals from Katie Zelem and Alessia Russo secured the win.
What was clear from the game was the amount of talent that coach Marc Skinner had at his disposal. Russo, Ella Toone, Leah Galton and new signing Lucia Garcia led the line from the start, but substitutes Nikita Parris and Martha Thomas showed the strength in depth from the bench.
This has been the aim for United's recruitment team this summer and when asked about it after the game, Skinner commented on what the improved options mean for his squad's chances this season.
