Manchester United consider setting up new women's football team

Manchester United are reviewing whether to have a women's football team, with the champions having discarded their last one in 2005.

While many of the elite Premier League clubs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool who won the Super League title on Sunday  all have sides, United offer coaching to females up to the age of 18 as part of their community-engagement programme, which occurs through its centre of excellence.

The club confirmed to the Guardian that they could again have a team, once a full assessment is made.

A spokesperson said: "These matters are looked at from time to time and the club is reviewing this again. Once that review has been completed, the club will evaluate the findings and make a decision."
