Manchester United Women are on course to break their attendance record in next week’s Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
Over 36,000 tickets have been sold ahead of the highly-anticipated clash between the two in-form sides, who will meet for the first time this season on Sunday, November 19 in the fifth Women’s Super League match held at the Theatre of Dreams.
A home outing against Aston Villa set the current record in 2022, when the Reds and the Villans drew in a crowd of 30, 196.
Marc Skinner and his squad will be keen to oversee a similar result to last term’s home derby; on May 21, United clinched all three points against their neighbours in an emphatic 2-1 victory after Lucia Garcia’s injury-time heroics.
How the rivals fare
Just a point separates the sides currently after five matches played; United have won two games and drawn three, while City have won three, drew one and lost one during a drama-filled start to this term’s WSL campaign.
