Manchester United and Lioness star Nikita Parris lines up for yet another FA Cup final but for the first time in a Reds shirt, a historic moment for the club: “It's an occasion and of course the first time Manchester United have got to the final of the FA Cup so for a lot of the girls it's their first time playing at Wembley which is a historic stadium, a big stadium.
“And the FA Cup final itself is such a historic moment in women’s football in England, for me, it's a special competition. I can remember it since I was a kid so it does bring a little bit of pressure but the pressure is a privilege and that’s what Marc always tells us,“ Parris acknowledged to MEN Sport.
The 29-year-old has learned the hard way, to play the game and not the occasion: “For me personally, I live through experience. I got to the final of the FA Cup with Everton and lost sorely against Arsenal. Kelly Smith was a masterclass in that game.
