""To use a Manchester term, I'm absolutely buzzing. I'm so happy for the team and everyone behind the scenes, but particularly the players," he added. "It's not easy to come off the pitch that we played on mid-week [against Atletico Madrid], get back at 4am and produce a winning performance today. "London City made it very difficult for us, but I just believe this team will always find a way.""
""United had to come from behind at Leigh Sports Village as Nikita Parris headed the visitors in front after just five minutes. A difficult first half followed but Jess Park's moment of brilliance gave United a lifeline and they made it count when Millie Turner headed in the winner late on. It was a crucial three points, knowing Arsenal and Chelsea are hot on their heels in the WSL table, and extended United's unbeaten run to 11 games.""
Manchester United Women are on a seven-game winning streak and an eleven-game unbeaten run while juggling Champions League fixtures and WSL top-three competition.

Jess Park produced a moment of brilliance to level, and Millie Turner headed the late winner from a set-piece. The team returned from a midweek match in Madrid and traveled back at 4am before the game. Injuries and illness affected selection, but clinical finishing—two shots on target produced two goals—proved decisive.
