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."

Not fussed either way. No doubt the owners would exploit it and squeeze it for all it's worth. If they put that money into the men's team, brilliant. If they plough it back into the women's team, or keep the profit for themselves (a far more likely scenario), it won't affect us that much.
The only positive that I can see is that it would lift the profile of the club by being in the news a little more often.

If we don't sign players like Marta then Moyes and Woodward should be sacked.
