Man Utd open new high-performance training base for women and academy teams at Carrington - complete with state-of-the-art gym and jacuzzi

United began construction on the high-performance centre at Carrington Training Centre in February and it became operational before the current Women's Super League season started.

The facility will be the permanent home of the women's team while the boys' academy sides will have access to a separate gym and there are offices for the support staff.

The new training centre is part of a campaign of significant investment to improve facilities available to all of Untied's players, the club's website says.

The building contains a state-of-the-art gym, rehabilitation areas including a jacuzzi, and large changing, kit and boot rooms for the women's team. There is also a players’ lounge and restaurant that features a live cooking area for the women's team.

“We are always looking to improve our facilities and we are delighted that the detailed planning has led to an outstanding building that will rival any women’s training facilities in Europe and provide space for growth for our Academy," said chief operating officer Collette Roche. “Across our facilities we have invested more than £20 million in improvement work over the last year and this building is an example of the progress we are making to create the best environments for our teams to succeed.”

United's women's team are next in action when they visit Paris Saint-Germain in Champions League qualifying on Wednesday, while Erik ten Hag's men's team will take on Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday.
