# Red Devils Women Show Their Class in Derby Victory

What a way to kick off the weekend, Reds! While all eyes might be on the men’s side with Michael Carrick steering the ship this season, let’s give some serious love to our Women’s team who’ve just delivered a proper derby day performance.

Our ladies have gone and done the business, picking up three crucial points that show exactly why Manchester United Women belong among the elite of the WSL. There’s something special brewing at Leigh Sports Village, and performances like this remind us that the women’s game at United is growing stronger with each passing season.

The beauty of having a winning Women’s team is that it spreads the United DNA across every level of the club. While we’re watching the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Matheus Cunha and Benjamin Šeško doing their thing on the men’s side, our women are out there fighting for every ball, every point, every bit of glory wearing that famous red shirt. It’s the same passion, the same hunger, the same relentless pursuit of excellence that defines Manchester United.

This victory couldn’t come at a better time either. With the men’s squad navigating the early stages of the 2026-27 campaign under Carrick’s guidance, having our women delivering results keeps the positive momentum flowing through the entire club. INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s vision extends beyond just the first team, and results like this prove the investment in women’s football is paying dividends.

Fair play to the girls for getting the job done and showing that derby grit we all love to see. Whether it’s Old Trafford or Leigh Sports Village, Manchester United knows how to win when it matters. Here’s hoping this is just the start of another successful WSL campaign. Keep flying that flag high, ladies. We’re right behind you!
