Old Trafford: Man United Women stars lavish praise on iconic stadium Manchester United Women will take on Manchester City this Saturday lunchtime at 13:30 GMT. Old Trafford The Red Devils will have the honour of playing at Old Trafford, just as they did last season in the Manchester derby. United have also played two Champions League ties at the famous old stadium this season: the 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain and the agonising 2-3 defeat to Bayern Munich earlier in the week.
Vanquishing the league leaders, Manchester City, will be a tough ask, but the players hope to be inspired by their surroundings. Numerous players spoke to the club website about their feelings on the football cathedral and how they will feel stepping onto the pitch in such a big match. Player feelings Jess Park stated, “I think it’s how close the fans are to the pitch.
I think it makes the experience even better, you can hear them so loud. I just love having so many fans so close. ” Ella Toone also added, “I just enjoy everything about it.
The pitch is a carpet. The pitch is massive. It is just such a different experience now than when I used to go as a little girl supporting Manchester United.
