My office today is The Etihad for the Manchester Women’s derby #ManCityWomen v #ManUtdWomen City currently 1st in the #WomensSuperLeague Utd 3rd. Last season's four meetings across three domestic competitions tilted in Utd’s favour but City are revitalised this campaign.

Here at Old Trafford for #ManUtdWomen v #ParisSG in the #WomensChampionsLeague Utd have won both their opening games and former keeper Mary Earps returns with the French side. She recently released an autobiography critical of the England manager and a team-mate.
