Manchester United, the reigning FA Cup champions, are set to face Sunderland in a thrilling quarter-final match at Leigh Sports Village.

The Women's FA Cup quarter-finals are heating up as Manchester United, the current holders, prepare to take on Sunderland in a highly anticipated clash. The match, scheduled for the weekend of 8th and 9th March, will see United defend their title after their historic victory in 2024.

Sunderland, currently positioned sixth in the Women's Championship, is the only team outside the Women's Super League (WSL) still in the competition. Their journey to the quarter-finals has been remarkable, and they will be looking to cause an upset against the reigning champions.

Manchester United, who secured their first FA Cup title by defeating Tottenham at Wembley, will be playing at home, giving them a significant advantage. The match promises to be a showcase of talent and determination from both sides.
