Man City will take on Brighton in the Women's FA Cup final later this month, after Liverpool and Chelsea fell in the semi-finals on Sunday. It'll be a first Wembley appearance for the Seagulls, who downed the Reds in a dramatic 3-2 win, and they will be huge underdogs against Man City, the newly-elected Women's Super League champions who won by the same scoreline in extra time at Stamford Bridge, thanks to Khadija Shaw's double.
Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes and Manchester City striker Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw have been officially named the 2025-26 Football Writers' Association Footballers of the Year. The prestigious accolades recognise their record-breaking individual campaigns, with Fernandes reviving a long-standing Old Trafford tradition and Shaw cementing her status as a prolific Women's Super League icon.
Over the last few weeks, as Manchester City have been chasing down their first Women's Super League title in 10 years, things have become nervy on and off the pitch. Dropped points had threatened to let Arsenal back in the title race, until the Gunners' own midweek slip-up at Brighton ended that suspense. Still, though any concerns around the destiny of the WSL trophy have now been put to bed, City fans can still worry themselves over the future of their star striker, Khadija Shaw.
Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has addressed reports linking Manchester City superstar Khadija "Bunny" Shaw with a blockbuster summer move to the Blues. The Jamaica international is expected to depart Joie Stadium as contract negotiations with the newly-crowned Women's Super League champions have reportedly reached a standstill.
Vivianne Miedema has revealed the emotional reason behind her absence as Manchester City Women celebrated their league title. The Dutch forward has been at her mother’s bedside after serious complications following cancer treatment left her in intensive care. Miedema shared a heartfelt update on her family’s difficult weeks.
Manchester City star Khadija Shaw is set to leave the club this summer at the end of her contract, according to a report which emerged just hours after her side claimed a first Women's Super League title in 10 years. Shaw's goals were a key factor in that triumph but speculation about her future has rumbled on throughout the season and now she looks set to depart, with domestic rivals Chelsea heavily linked with a move.
For the first time in 10 years, Manchester City are Women’s Super League champions. The crowning moment may not have been what the runaway leaders expected, with Arsenal’s draw at Brighton on Wednesday night confirming their triumph without them even needing to take to the field. But it won’t taste any less sweet for a City side that has endured five second-placed finishes since their last title triumph in 2016.

Manchester City's Women's Super League destiny remains in their hands after Rebecca Knaak delivered a priceless late winner to defeat Liverpool 1-0 on Sunday. It looked like the Cityzens were going to slip up again, thus taking the title out of their hands and opening the door for Arsenal to take advantage. But after chances were wasted by star names like Khadija Shaw and Kerolin, up came Knaak, from centre-back, in stoppage time to head home a goal that puts her side on the brink of a first league title in 10 years.
For weeks now, the Women's Super League's title race has felt like a formality. Manchester City were nine points clear at the end of January. Then, a week later, they thrashed defending champions Chelsea 5-1 to extend that advantage to 11 points. Surely that was that, right? And yet, despite City only having two games to play, the race now looks set to head to the final day.
Beth Mead and Katie McCabe are both attracting interest from Manchester City as their respective Arsenal contracts prepare to come to an end, according to a report. Rumours of McCabe's departure have been rife for a while and now it appears she could be joined by her Gunners' team-mate at her next destination, in a move that would see Mead join long-time partner Vivianne Miedema in Manchester.

Manchester City's hopes of wrapping up the Women's Super League title with games to spare suffered a major blow as they slumped to a 3-2 defeat at Brighton on Saturday. Kerolin had given the champions-elect an early lead on the south coast, but Andree Jeglertz's side were wasteful in attack and desperate in defence as they suffered just their third league defeat of the campaign.
Khadija Shaw's early strike helped Manchester City set up a blockbuster FA Cup semi-final clash with Chelsea, as the Women's Super League leaders defeated second-tier table-toppers Birmingham 1-0 on Monday evening. The Cityzens had never lost to lower-tier opposition in the competition and while their in-form hosts gave a good account of themselves, when Shaw broke the deadlock after just eight minutes, that record rarely looked in danger of changing.

Marc Skinner has reaffirmed his belief that Manchester United can still secure a European spot this season despite suffering a bruising 3-0 defeat to rivals Manchester City. The United boss admitted the result at Old Trafford was "horrible" but remained defiant regarding his side's chances of finishing in the Champions League places.
Manchester City have moved to the brink of their first Women's Super League title in a decade after a ruthless 3-0 demolition of Manchester United at Old Trafford. Vivianne Miedema proved to be the difference-maker in a dominant first-half display that left the Red Devils with no answers in front of their home crowd.
Manchester United were thumped 3-0 by Manchester City at Old Trafford on Saturday, as Vivianne Miedema scored a brace, and Kerstin Casparij added a third just after half-time. Marc Skinner's side were outclassed by their city rivals, who now sit just five points from WSL glory.
Vivianne Miedema stole the show as Manchester City ran riot at Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon, humbling Manchester United in a dominant 3-0 win to take one big step towards their first Women's Super League title in 10 years. Two headers in two first half minutes from Miedema got City off to a flying start and established a comfortable lead that would never slip, as Kerstin Casparij wrapped things up after the break to move Andree Jeglertz's side 11 points clear at the top of the table.
Manchester City striker Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw has been hailed as "the best in the world" after her brilliant hat-trick against Tottenham on Saturday. The centre-forward scored the quickest hat-trick in Women's Super League history as City beat Spurs 5-2 in a thumping victory.
Khadija Shaw's record-breaking hat-trick fired Manchester City to a dominant 5-2 win over Tottenham on Saturday, allowing the Women's Super League leaders to maintain their seven-point cushion at the top with just four games to go. It took Shaw just 21 minutes from kick-off, and 13 minutes between goals, to net her treble, setting two new competition records, and that was added to by Kerolin's strike and an own goal from Amanda Nilden as City bounced back from last week's disappointing draw at Aston Villa.
Less than two years ago, Khiara Keating appeared to have the world at her feet. Aged 19, she emerged as Manchester City's starting goalkeeper, won her first senior England call-up and, at the end of the 2023-24 season, became the youngest player ever to win the Women's Super League Golden Glove. And yet, on Sunday, she made just her third league appearance of the current season, having been left out of the Lionesses senior squad last month due to a lack of game time.

Manchester City's march towards the Women's Super League title was stalled somewhat on Sunday as the runaway leaders were held to a 0-0 draw by Aston Villa. Andree Jeglertz's side struggled to create chances against the most porous defence in the division, and if not for some excellent Khiara Keating saves, they may well have fallen to just a third defeat of the campaign.
Manchester City are reportedly 'close' to agreeing a new deal with star striker Khadija 'Bunny' Shaw, just a day after the Women's Super League's leading goal-scorer was linked with a move to rivals Chelsea. Shaw's contract expires this summer but it appears she will be staying in Manchester, despite interest from the Blues in London.
Manchester City are on the brink of a first Women's Super League title since 2016, and a big reason for their incredible performances this season has been the midfield duo of Yui Hasegawa and Laura Blindkilde Brown. And yet, in January, the Cityzens got even stronger in that position when they added another truly world-class midfielder in United States star Sam Coffey, making a move that can have so many short- and long-term benefits.
