Manchester United Women Football Club is a professional football club based in the Salford suburb of Broughton, Greater Manchester, England, around 1.5 miles from Manchester city centre, that will compete in the Women's Super League (WSL), the top tier of English women's football, after gaining promotion from the Championship at the end of the 2018–19 season. They are based at The Cliff, formerly used as a training ground by the men's equivalent.
Following the club's acceptance into the 2018–19 FA Women's Championship, it was revealed that the women's team would be based in Broughton, Salford at The Cliff training ground; subject to completion of redevelopment work. In the meantime United play their fixtures at Leigh Sports Village. Moss Lane serves as a backup venue for when Leigh Sports Village is unavailable. Ewen Fields has also been used as a contingency plan, hosting United’s FA Cup fifth round match against London Bees in February 2019. In March 2021 it was announced that the women's team would play their first ever game at Old Trafford later that month.
