United Women on ‘special’ Old Trafford occasion

Speaking to MUTV ahead of the historic match, Earps said: “It’s going to be a really special occasion.

“It should be a very decent game in front of a good crowd.”

Russo echoed her goalkeeper’s thoughts.

“We all know how much of a privilege it is to play here [Old Trafford] and I think we are ready for the challenge,” said the striker. “Most importantly we are so excited for our fans because I think we have the best fans in the league and for them to come here and support us will be amazing.”

United Women have played at the Theatre of Dreams once before, a WSL clash with West Ham.
