Manchester United consider setting up new women's football team


• United discarded women's team in 2005

• Club currently coaches females until age of 18


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."
