And about time to. Now lets poach Phillip Neville to be coach
Maybe American owners will come in handy at last, with women's football being so big over there. A couple of top yanks would be a good addition to the home-grown ones.
Agreed. The tunnel area especially needs a massive revamp. I saw the tunnel cam from the Brighton game and it's a shambles really. I don't like how it's situated on the side of the stadium either. Why can't the tunnel be in the central area like all the other clubs? It won't be long before we are overtaken as the biggest club ground in the country too with how so many clubs are either expanding or building new stadiums. Everything is too slow.About time.
We’re like a bloody dinosaur - late for everything nowadays. Last club to join Twitter, last club to use Instagram, last club to use YouTube and now the last big club to have a woman’s team but still no SnapChat.
I see the tunnel at OT has been given a lick of paint, but it still looks like an old shed compared to almost all Premier League teams, let alone big teams in Europe.. even West Brom’s tunnel looks shiny and modern! It was embarrassing seeing the shambles of a tunnel on ‘Tunnel Cam’ for the Brighton match. Look at City’s and Liverpool’s compared to ours on YouTube. An absolute disgrace.
OT needs a giant renovation and expansion just like Barca and Madrid are currently undergoing otherwise we will be playing catch-up yet again.
I’m becoming sick of this club, it’s jist all about the $$$£££€€€. Evolve or become extinct.
I said on twitter a few years ago when this topic came up, but they should bring in Alex Morgan to be the face of the team if they had any sense. She is probably the face of soccer in the USA not only for her ability but yes, her looks as well if everyone is being honest. But seeing as how they love their marketability here, getting someone as big as Morgan would be a huge coup in getting this all started up.

Just throw the money and get her in!Morgan plays for the European champions lyonaiss and I believe earns 450k USD a year (second highest paid female player after Marta). What can a United women's team in infancy and in a lower league offer her except for its name?

God no.
Can't be arsed about it. I get the equal rights thing going on nowadays, but women's sports barring tennis/badminton has never been my cup of tea.
Slightly off topic, but it's there so that emergency vehicles can get access. If it were in the middle of the ground, there's no way for anything much larger than a 4x4 to get inside the stadium. If you've ever been to the ground, you can understand that the current layout doesn't allow for another option.Agreed. The tunnel area especially needs a massive revamp.

Wish that attitude was as far back as that. More like 30/40 years ago.Wow welcome to the 1800's.
A tiny amount of research will show that women already did set up their own independent teams with no links to existing clubs. The majority of women's teams were like this until fairly recently, when many of them partnered up with professional men's clubs many years after their founding.Given we've been coaching young girls to be professional footballers for ages It makes sense to be able to play them at the end of it.
That said I do like the idea of previous posters of proper women's clubs being made. I doubt it would work but it would be cool to have a whole league of new women's clubs up and down the country, if none league football survives I'm sure a proper women's league with financial backing would probably work.
What difference does it make to you?God no.

Even now there’s crap like this.
Well done United, about time.

GyalchesterWomanchester United?
Possibly.And about time to. Now lets poach Phillip Neville to be coach
I can hear the chant 'Ladies in reeeeeeddddddd'
Great news. Looking forward to it.
Womanchester United
I don't think it'll be called this as Manchester United is a brand and the ladies team will be a branch off the brand.Womanchester United?
Finally! Now go and be the best Womens team, nice addition to our history.
Honestly, won't watch any of the football (except few highlights) but will follow the progress, hoping there's a good easy access media medium for that.
Good for the fans, girls and women who wants to play for their girlhood club United, and benefits the club in many ways.
Possibly.
