Manchester United have announced the news that the club expect to smash their attendance record for the upcoming Manchester derby.
WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Red Devils this afternoon.
Manchester United meet neighbours Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday 19 November 2023. Tickets have been on-sale for a number of weeks and the club have today revealed that more than 36,000 have been sold. Ticket sales have exceeded Manchester United’s current attendance record of 30,196 which was recorded in the 2022/2023 season.
Speaking following Manchester United’s ticket update, head coach Marc Skinner said “As a squad, we have shown that we can perform on the biggest stages – winning all of our previous games at Old Trafford and competing so strongly in the FA Cup final against Chelsea at Wembley in May. And of course, many of our players were successfully involved in the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand last summer.
“Women’s football is capturing the nation’s imagination like never before, and playing these matches at grounds like Old Trafford can only add to the ever-increasing profile of our team, the WSL and the women’s game in general.”
