Maya Le Tissier excited for Man Utd Women new signings to enjoy home support
Inside Sunday’s jam-packed matchday programme, Le Tissier says she is looking forward to Julia Zigiotti Olme, Fridolina Rolfo and Jess Park having the opportunity to understand how “fantastic” our fanbase is, and how important their backing has become particularly in games at the team’s primary home of Leigh Sports Village.
It’s where Sunday’s 12:00 BST kick-off against the Foxes takes place and where Le Tissier and co lost just once in the WSL last season, to eventual champions Chelsea.
Involved or not, it will be our new trio’s first chance since joining us to experience a competitive matchday at the stadium, a venue that has historically been described as feeling like a ‘fortress’ by the team’s players and staff.
The connection and closeness between those on the pitch and in the stands is a big reason for that, and something Maya has no doubt missed since the team played its last game in Leigh – over four months ago!
