Both teams then lined up for what appeared to be expectation of a minute's silence. However, it looks like the referee decided not to delay kick-off further given United did not emerge in sufficient time to hold it. If that's the case, it's really poor from the club
The team carried out a wreath ahead of the anniversary of Munich later this week.
A slight delay to kick-off of the under 18s match. United only emerging at 11am which was the scheduled time for kick-off.
Victory in the Manchester derby! 🤩

After a dodgy end to the first half, the early goal from Toone to secure her hat-trick has settled restored the cushion. Balance of play still with City though
#MUWomen
Hmm. City have applied all the pressure since scoring and it’s now 2-3. United have squandered their early dominance and now look 2nd best
Argh. City pull one back 1-3 United #WSL
Really enjoying this opening 35 minutes from Miyazawa
#MUWomen
Poor miss from Terland but moments later Toone makes no mistake
0 - 3

Munro down injured. He went off the pitch and then tried to bum shuffle back on. The referee was having none of it

Fitzgerald also goes into the book. Think it's for kicking the ball away. Hate players picking up those stupid bookings
#mufcu18 #FAYC
Murdock with two great saves to deny Preston. Still Munro has to get back to make a goalline clearance. Somehow manages to do that despite being injured

United players wearing black armbands in the second half as a sign of respect on the passing of Dennis Law
