Manchester United Women

Did you know that Manchester United once had a women’s team? I have to say that I didn’t actually know that. Manchester United Ladies was founded in 1977 and played for 24 years before bcoming an official part of the club in 2001/2. However, they only played for 3 seasons before being disbanded. The decision was apparently and contoversially for financial reasons, which is hard to believe considering the level of profits at the moment. The women were not actually told that they would no longer be playing until after the team had officially been disbanded.

I have to say that I prefer mens football to womens football in general, but United would never disband the youth team for financial reasons so why not give the women a shot. After all, the England womens side is doing far better than McClarens men at the moment so why not?
