Manchester United Women are set for a monumental week at the Theatre of Dreams. Manager Marc Skinner has confirmed that Old Trafford will host the UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) Quarter-final clash against Bayern Munich on March 24—just days before a blockbuster Manchester Derby at the same venue.
A Historic European Debut
Following a dominant 5-0 aggregate victory over Atletico Madrid in the playoffs, the Red Devils have officially reached the knockout stages of the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.
The Quarter-Final Schedule:
- First Leg: Man Utd vs Bayern Munich | Old Trafford | Tuesday, March 24
- Second Leg: Bayern Munich vs Man Utd | Allianz Arena | Wednesday, April 1
Skinner’s side secured their spot in the last eight after a professional 2-0 win at Leigh Sports Village on Thursday, exorcising the ghosts of their qualifying exit to PSG two years ago.
Pursuing a Historic Quadruple?
United’s European charge comes amidst an incredible domestic campaign. The Reds remain alive in all three major cup competitions, setting up a defining period for the club:
- FA Cup: A massive showdown against Chelsea this weekend.
- League Cup Final: A trophy on the line against Chelsea on March 15.
- UWCL: The two-legged tie against the Frauen-Bundesliga leaders.
- WSL: The Manchester Derby at Old Trafford following the Bayern clash.
“Playing these games at Old Trafford is where this team belongs,” Skinner said. “To have Bayern Munich and then Manchester City back-to-back at the stadium is a testament to how far we’ve come.”
