Barbara Keeley MP on Manchester United's decision to review women's team future

“Re-establishing a women’s football team at Manchester United would make a real contribution to raising the profile of women’s sport, and would help increase female participation in sport both here and in other countries where the club has female fans.

I really do hope that Manchester United follow the lead of other Premier League clubs and do what their fans have asked them to do by re-establishing a women’s team. “
