Manchester United Women's European Champions League quarter-final against FC Bayern Women is a highly anticipated match. The match will be held at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Manchester United Women have been on a rapid rise in the Women's Super League, but they are yet to make their mark in Europe. The team has been steadily establishing themselves as one of the country's top teams, with a string of top-four finishes. They recorded their best position in 2023 by coming second. Manchester United Women's official women's squad was formed in 2018, but the team has a rich history dating back to the 1970s. They were unofficially recognised as the club's senior women's team and were founding members of the North West Women's Regional Football League. The team formed an official partnership with the club in 2001, which was a step of considerable symbolic significance. However, they were then disbanded in 2005 after new owners deemed women's football unprofitable. It would be another 13 years before Man United once again welcomed women's football. Manchester United Women's first team photo was taken in August 2018. The team has played in front of a Women's Super League record crowd against rivals Manchester City.
