Manchester United’s Aoife Mannion: ‘Losing the final last year makes us so hungry’
Defender is relishing FA Cup clash with Tottenham after injury misfortune that created more space to coach her village team
‘It’s in our minds that last year we were so close and yet so far,” says Aoife Mannion, as Manchester United prepare for a second consecutive FA Cup final.
Last year, United lost 1-0 against Chelsea, Sam Kerr’s 68th-minute strike postponing dreams of a first major trophy. This season, United are struggling in the Women’s Super League, losing 1-0 to Liverpool in their most recent fixture to sit fifth with a game to play, but a first win over Chelsea took them to the final at Wembley.
