Man United Women Host Brann Needing Win to Reach Women’s Champions League League Phase

Qualification would put United into the competition's new league phase for the first time.

Overview

  • United trail 1-0 from the first leg in Bergen and kick off the return at Leigh Sports Village at 19:00 BST on Thursday.
  • Marc Skinner says the side are confident and must show togetherness and composure rather than grasping for the result.
  • Defender Millie Turner has a knee injury that is not an ACL, LCL or MCL issue, with further assessment due this week and her involvement unlikely.
  • Leigh has been a stronghold for United, with only two defeats in 22 matches there since December 2023.
  • The pre-match equipment scramble in Bergen has been resolved, with Skinner confirming players have the boots they need for the second leg.
