WED 25 MARCH: BAYERN MUNICH (H)UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg / Old Trafford / 20:00 GMT KO
After three big domestic fixtures, attention will return to United Women’s current European campaign, a historic run that has seen us reach the quarter-finals for the first time. That berth was secured with a two-legged victory over Spanish giants Atletico Madrid in February’s knockout play-offs, and we’ll now face the German title-holders for the right to progress to the final four. The first leg will be held under the lights at Old Trafford, where we defeated Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the competition, before April’s second leg at Bayern’s Allianz Arena.

SAT 28 MARCH: MAN CITY (H)Barclays Women’s Super League / Old Trafford / 13:30 GMT KO
The Bayern tie is swiftly followed by another blockbuster battle at the Theatre of Dreams, with Skinner’s side set to host WSL leaders and crosstown rivals Manchester City in M16 just three days later. The derby being back at Old Trafford for the third season in a row brings back fond memories of last term’s instalment, a 2-2 draw that produced the point we needed to secure our initial Champions League qualification. Just as it was in 2024/25, this is another big game in the WSL run-in, with the stakes likely to be high again for the division’s current top two.
