Le Tissier tucked home from 12 yards in the 31st minute after a handball by Arna Eiriksdottir, with that moment proving enough to get the Red Devils over the line.

It was hardly thrilling and it was not the entertaining opening to life in the Women's Champions League that Manchester United might have hoped for but, more important than that, the English side got up and running with three points as they beat Valerenga in a low-key affair in Leigh. Maya Le Tissier's penalty kick was enough to beat the Norwegian side on Marc Skinner's team's debut in the league phase on a night that will enter the club's history books
