Le Tissier becomes youngest player to make 100 WSL starts

Tuesday 22 October 2024

Maya Le Tissier set a new Women's Super League record in the Manchester United's 1-1 draw at Brighton.

The 22-year-old became the youngest-ever player to make 100 appearances in the division, beating the record previously set by Manchester City and England winger Lauren Hemp.

Le Tissier made her WSL debut for Brighton in 2018, and remained at the club for four years before signing for Marc Skinner's side in 2022.

She was named captain in the summer.

United are unbeaten in the WSL so far this season, with the Brighton game the first points they have dropped in four matches.

Grace Clinton got the opener just ten minutes into the game to give United the lead before former Red Nikita Parris equalised for the hosts after 52 minutes.

They are third in the WSL, three points off Manchester City and the top but with a game in hand.

The WSL now takes a break for the internationals.

England Women play Germany on Friday, kick off at 19:30, and South Africa on Tuesday 29 October, kick off 19:45.

Le Tissier was named in Sarina Wiegman’s 25 player squad earlier this month.
