Alessia Russo seals WSL Player of the Month prize

Our no.23 has been rewarded for some outstanding performances during the month, notably a Man-of-the-Match showing in the women's team's first-ever fan-attended game at Old Trafford.

The Reds were behind early on against visitors Everton – in front of a huge 20,241 crowd – but Russo led a defiant response, scoring twice to help us to a 3-1 success.

She also found the net in the 4-0 win over Leicester that started March, plus the 3-1 away win at Reading. Our 1-1 draw with West Ham was the only WSL game in the month where the powerful forward failed to make the scoresheet.
