Manchester United Women’s team is riding high on an unbeaten wave, eagerly anticipating their next clash against local rivals Manchester City at Old Trafford, where over 36,000 fans are expected to gather.
The team extended their impressive run in the Women’s Super League by cruising to victory against West Ham United.
Geyse was the early hero, scoring her first league goal of the season just three minutes in by expertly heading in a deflected Hinata Miyazawa shot.
Millie Turner added to the tally with a stunning effort from the edge of the box, slicing through West Ham’s midfield before delivering a perfectly curled shot.
West Ham faced early setbacks as Viviane Asseyi and Honoka Hayashi exited due to injuries, and their troubles deepened when Nikita Parris slotted home a third goal for United, courtesy of an Ella Toone assist.
The Hammers showed some resilience after halftime, creating chances through Emma Harries, Amber Tysiak, and Riko Ueki, but couldn’t find the back of the net.
United sealed their dominance with two more goals, as Lucia Garcia struck from close range and Melvine Malard capitalized on a corner, confirming a resounding victory.
With six games down, Manchester United holds an unblemished record, whereas West Ham has accumulated just four points from the same number of matches.
A commanding first half was key to Manchester United’s win in a season of varying fortunes.
Marc Skinner’s team unleashed 18 shots, half of them on target, effectively converting their control of the game into a scoreline — a significant improvement from their last-minute draw against Brighton.
Their aggressive forward line, featuring Galton, Parris, and Geyse, exerted relentless pressure, disrupting West Ham’s attempts to build from the back.
Parris, fresh off a hat-trick against Everton, proved a constant menace, particularly down the right flank.
Despite little action at the back, United’s defence, led by full-backs Hannah Blundell and Jayde Riviere, played a more attacking role, creating chances with their overlapping runs.
West Ham, largely confined to their half, struggled to break through, though United’s keeper Mary Earps had to stay vigilant to thwart any potential goals.
United’s late double strike in the second half aptly reflected their dominance throughout the match.
Looking ahead, Skinner’s team, with three wins and three draws, is poised for the upcoming Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

Interesting stats there. 18 shots for Man U, they really dominated. West Ham needs to work on their defense, or it’s gonna be a long season for them.
Geyse is amazing, that early goal set the tone for the whole match. She’s gonna be a star this season, just watch!
