This victory propelled Ruben Amorim’s squad into the Premier League’s top half, accumulating seven points, though still trailing leaders Liverpool by eight points.
Does Oshoala Support Manchester United?
Asisat Oshoala has openly expressed her fondness for Manchester United, linking much of her early football inspiration to the club.
During an interview on Arise TV, the Nigerian international reflected on her childhood, stating:
“When I was younger, I didn’t have a female role model in football because women’s games weren’t broadcasted. They rarely appeared in newspapers or on the news. I mostly followed men’s teams and admired male athletes. Cristiano Ronaldo and Louis Saha were among my favorites. Players from Barcelona and Manchester United have always been my idols.”
Looking ahead, Manchester United will face Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium in six days, aiming to build momentum from their recent success against Chelsea.
