Eva Olid's team showcased their scoring potential from the outset, as evidenced by their 10-1 triumph in the opening match of the cup campaign. Manchester United came into the game with several changes, with Lea Schuller replacing Elisabeth Terland in the attack, Ellen Wangerheim taking over the No. 10 role, and Reece Bernal and Mared Griffiths anchoring the midfield. The backline featured Maya Le Tissier and Dominique Janssen at center back, with Hanna Lundkvist and Jess Simpson starting in defense, while Janina Leitzig was the goalkeeper. Manchester United took the lead early through Schuller's goal in the 11th minute, and despite Durham equalizing in the 19th minute, the Red's momentum remained strong throughout the match. They extended their lead with goals from Janssen, Jusu Bah, and Griffiths, with Terland scoring a fifth-minute goal in stoppage time.

With three consecutive victories, the team aims to maintain this winning streak as they prepare for their next match against Liverpool at Leigh Sports Village on Saturday.",
