Manchester United kicked off their WSL campaign with a bang winning 4-0 against Reading on Saturday afternoon. There was a record attendance of 7,217 at Leigh Sports Village to watch Marc Skinner's side rout their opponents.
Before the game, Katie Zelem received a special award to commemorate her 100th appearance for United as she became the first player in the women's team's short history to achieve this feat. And she showed during the game both why she has played so many games for this side and also been named captain, with a stellar display in the centre of the park.
Her corners were a constant issue for Reading and led to two goals. She also got on the scoresheet herself, converting a penalty won by Alessia Russo to score United's second.
