Manchester United Women Cruise Past Burnley 5-0 to Reach FA Cup Fifth Round

United await Monday’s fifth-round draw as ball number seven.

Overview

  • Five different players scored: Maya Le Tissier, Julia Zigiotti, Simi Awujo, Lea Schuller and 16-year-old debutant Layla Drury.
  • Schuller and Hanna Lundkvist made full debuts, Ellen Wangerheim came on for her first appearance, and Millie Turner returned for her first minutes since injury.
  • Marc Skinner hailed the many firsts from the display and praised Awujo and Drury, noting the team could still be more aggressive against a compact block.
  • The draw begins at 19:00 GMT on Monday and will stream on the Women’s FA Cup, TNT Sports Football and Channel 4 YouTube channels, with last-16 ties set for 22 February.
  • Attendance was 2,835 at Leigh, where third-tier Burnley arrived on strong cup form after turning fully professional last summer.
