Will power can push United on

Man United v Tottenham Women’s FA Cup final, tomorrow, Wembley, kick-off 2.30pm

RACHEL WILLIAMS believes Women’s FA Cup glory over Tottenham could herald a new era for Manchester United.

United, having reached a second successive final, will look to clinch their first major piece of silverware since the side was launched in 2018 and atone for an otherwise miserable season.

“I do think people forget that United Women are only five, six years old,” said Williams (above). “It’s a club that wants to win things. They invest in us. We’ve got the best of everything to be the best players we can be.

“With the fans and for the club in general, this could be the start of us bringing silverware to the club.”

While United are bidding to make up for their fifthplaced berth with a first piece of silverware, maiden finalists Spurs are bidding to cap off a transformative season under manager Robert Vilahamn.

Former United striker Martha Thomas is one player thriving under the Swedish manager.

The 27-year-old (below) was a late substitute in United’s FA Cup loss to Chelsea last season but has notched double-digit goals in all competitions for Spurs, including the winner against Leicester in the semi-finals.

But Thomas played down talk of a revenge mission.

“I don’t think you need any more extra motivation than an FA Cup final,” she said. “Sometimes you have to take a leap and hope it works out. In this case, it felt like the right fit and the way the season has gone validates that a little bit.”
