United beat Villa in friendly
Goals from new signing Martha Thomas and Kirsty Hanson inside the opening 17 minutes settled the encounter and the Reds could have had more in a game we dominated from start to finish.
There were late minutes for several youngsters, as new boss Marc Skinner aims to firm up his squad for the upcoming campaign.
The Reds - forced into a late change, with Lucy Staniforth replacing Hayley Ladd in the starting XI - scored with our first attack on goal, with Hanson cutting the ball back for Thomas to slide home for her maiden strike in a United shirt.
Provider then turned scorer as Hanson curled into the top-right corner after receiving a pass from captain Katie Zelem.
