After becoming the last remaining Premier League team to launch a Youtube channel, Manchester United have finally submitted an application to the FA to establish a professional women's team.

The application is for the proposed team to join the second tier of the Women's Super League, where they could join the likes of the Tottenham, Watford, and Aston Villa women's teams next season.

The statement on the club's website reads, "Manchester United has submitted an application to the Football Association to establish a professional women's team in the second tier of the Women's Super League."

"If successful, the move would provide a career pathway for players who graduate from the long-established and highly successful Girls' Regional Talent Club, which has seen some 15 of its graduates playing international football this season alone.

"The FA has provided excellent support through the process and we believe that launching a team in WSL2 would give many more of our graduates from the Regional Talent Club the chance to establish themselves as first-team players.

"The Manchester United women's team must be built in the same image and with the same principles as the men's first team and offer academy players a clear route to top-level football within the club."

The team will undoubtedly be an attractive prospect for many players around the globe, including the likes of Olympic Gold medallist and US Soccer Team star Alex Morgan, who is an avid United fan.
