Man City announce Etihad Stadium will host WSL derby vs Manchester United for second time
manchestereveningnews.co.ukManchester City have announced the Etihad Stadium will host the Barclays Women's Super League derby against Manchester United later this year.
Back in 2019, the club set a then-WSL attendance record of 31,213 on a day full of enthralling entertainment. Caroline Weir's stunning winning goal was the highlight, but some acrobatic saves from Ellie Roebuck and midfield mastery from Keira Walsh capped off a fantastic day for the club.
