Henderson chasing more glory with England

Alex Greenwood and her incoming club colleague Abbie McManus are the Reds duo already through, after both played the full 90 minutes for Phil Neville's England side in their slender, yet deserved, 1-0 win over Argentina.

United skipper Greenwood used her attacking prowess to earn a first-half penalty at Le Havre's Stade Oceane, when she was tripped in the box by Ruth Bravo, only for a brilliant save by Vanina Correa to prevent Nikita Parris scoring her second spot-kick goal of this World Cup. However, the Lionesses still triumphed through Jodie Taylor's 61st-minute strike and Greenwood almost claimed an assist later in the game when Jill Scott headed her fine left-wing delivery just over the crossbar.
