MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - A record 45,185 tickets have been snapped up for Sunday's Women's Super League derby between Manchester United and Manchester City at Old Trafford, setting up a potential attendance record.

Depending on how many fans come through the turnstiles, the attendance could top the record of 44,259 set at the Etihad last season.
