Manchester United kicked off the new Women’s Super League season with a comfortable 4-0 home win over Reading as Maya Le Tissier marked her debut for the club with two first-half goals.
Marc Skinner’s side raced into a 4-0 lead after just 35 minutes thanks to Le Tissier’s double – a looping volley and a header, both from right-wing Katie Zelem corners – with skipper Zelem’s well-taken penalty sandwiched in between.
Alessia Russo’s thumping header then rounded off the scoring as the hosts – who will be looking to improve on last season, when they just missed out to rivals Manchester City for a top-three finish on the final day – made an eye-catching start to the campaign.
