Overview

  • Manchester United beat SK Brann 3-0 at Leigh Sports Village to win the tie 3-1 on aggregate and qualify for the UWCL league phase.
  • Elisabeth Terland scored a perfect hat-trick against her former club, striking in the 9th and 13th minutes before adding a third just after the hour.
  • The new format replaces the old group stage, and United will learn their six league-phase fixtures in Friday’s 11:00 BST draw.
  • Manager Marc Skinner noted limited bench options on the night, with defender Millie Turner’s knee injury still being assessed and Jayde Riviere substituted after a knock but hoped to be fit for Arsenal.
  • United had lost several players’ boots before last week’s 1-0 defeat in Bergen, and Brann now drop into the inaugural Women’s Europa Cup after this result.
