<p>MANCHESTER, England — The Manchester United women’s team made its Old Trafford debut on Saturday in a league game against West Ham.</p>
<p>The team normally plays its Women’s Super League home matches at Leigh Sports Village but switched to Old Trafford during the international break in the men’s game.</p>
<p>“It’s an amazing experience to play in Europe because of the rich history in football and a stadium like Old Trafford holds that richness, that history,” United striker Christen Press, an American international, told <a href="https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/free-online-match-programme-for-man-utd-women-v-west-ham-27-march-2021">the club’s website</a>.</p>
<p>The last time a women’s soccer game was played at Old Trafford was during the 2012 London Olympics.</p>
<p>United entered the match in third place. The top three teams qualify for the Women’s Champions League.</p>
