A historic night awaits at the Progress with Unity Stadium this Wednesday as Manchester United Women will play in the main stage of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Indeed, the visit of Norwegian champions Vålerenga marks a significant milestone in the club’s continuing European journey. Marc Skinner’s side has every reason to be full of confidence heading into their competition debut.
They are unbeaten in the Women’s Super League and currently boast the division’s best defensive record. Furthermore, after a hard-fought qualifying campaign, they will be determined to get their group stage off to a winning start in front of their home fans.

Marc Skinner has a strong squad to select from for this historic European night. However, he will be without long-term absentee Millie Turner and the injured Leah Galton. In addition, a minor knock has unfortunately ruled out Norwegian winger Celin Bizet Donnum, meaning she will miss the chance to face her former club.
