Maya Le Tissier has expressed her surprise at becoming the captain of Manchester United at just 22 years old, highlighting the team's new culture following an unbeaten start to the Women's Super League (WSL) season. The England defender has led her team to four victories and a draw, despite significant changes to the squad over the summer. This included the notable departures of England internationals Mary Earps, Nikita Parris, and former captain Katie Zelem, alongside six new signings, such as Norway winger Celin Bizet from Tottenham. Le Tissier remarked on the positive atmosphere within the team, noting, "There’s a different culture within the team, a very young team." Her leadership comes at a pivotal time as she aims to secure a spot on the England squad for Euro 2025.
