(Reuters) - While Manchester United are making their debut in the women's FA Cup final just five years after resurrecting their women's programme, manager Marc Skinner hopes Sunday's appearance at Wembley Stadium is just the first of many.

"We're maybe slightly ahead but nothing we're not planning for. If it moves ahead then that's brilliant but I want it to be sustained," Skinner said.
