Manchester United will host rivals Manchester City in a mouth-watering tie of the Women’s League Cup quarter-finals.
On Monday afternoon, United confirmed that they have been drawn against City.
While a confirmed date is yet to be announced, it’s understood that the game will be played on either the 22nd or the 23rd of February 2025.
It will be the second Manchester derby in just a few days, with the two city rivals poised to meet at the Etihad Stadium on January 19 in the Women’s Super League.
United finished at the top of Group A courtesy of winning all three of their games against Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle United.
Marc Skinner’s side and City have yet to come up against each other this term.
When the two sides last met in March, City ran out comfortable winners in a 3-1 victory.
At the moment, United are in fourth position in the WSL with 21 points. City are second with 22 points, so the clash between the two promises to be a good one.
Whichever team advances to the semi-final will clash against the winner of Brighton vs Arsenal.
If United were to get past City and qualify for the semi-final, they would play either Brighton or Arsenal on the 5th or the 6th of February 2025.
