Manchester United Secures Women's Champions League Spot with Derby Draw

Manchester United Women secured a 2-2 draw against Manchester City at Old Trafford, clinching qualification for next season's Women's Champions League at the expense of their rivals. United only needed a draw to secure third place in the Women's Super League, but had to come from two goals down after City scored through Laia Aleixandri and Rebecca Knaak. Grace Clinton pulled one back before halftime, and substitute Melvine Malard leveled the match in the second half. Shortly after the equalizer, United were reduced to ten players when Aoife Mannion received a second yellow card, but they held on for the crucial point. The result means United will compete in Europe's top club competition next season, while City miss out. United can now turn their attention to the upcoming FA Cup final against Chelsea.
