Manchester United Women host Bayern Munich at Old Trafford tonight, aiming to secure a first-leg advantage in their historic debut Women’s Champions League quarter-final.
The Red Devils move into the elite of European football under manager Marc Skinner, who oversaw a clinical 5–0 aggregate victory over Atlético Madrid in the previous round. United currently sit second in the WSL and will look to their incredible home record—six consecutive wins across all competitions—to unsettle the German champions.
Manchester United Women team news
Marc Skinner manages a squad receiving a massive psychological boost, but still missing several creative pillars. Hinata Miyazawa is back in Manchester after winning the Asian Cup with Japan and is in contention to start tonight. Consequently, her availability provides a vital creative spark in a midfield missing Ella Toone and Leah Galton.
Notably, Jayde Riviere has also returned to training and is available for selection. The manager must find a solution for Dominique Janssen, who is definitely ruled out with an injury picked up against West Ham.
Phallon Tullis-Joyce will start in goal behind a defence led by Maya Le Tissier and Millie Turner. In midfield, Julia Zigiotti Olme—one of three former Bayern players in the squad—will partner Lisa Naalsund.
Fridolina Rolfö and Jess Park will likely provide support for striker Lea Schüller. Schüller, who netted over 100 goals for Bayern before joining United in January, will be the primary target as United look to penetrate a Bayern defence missing several key starters due to ACL injuries.
