Gallery: Upping the intensity

View a selection of training images as Andree Jeglertz's team continue building towards the 2026/27 season.

It’s been an action-packed first week back for our Women’s team who have been hard at work at the City Football Academy with our sights fully set on the upcoming 2026/27 campaign.

We’ve seen the perfect blend of intensity, fun and time to continue to bond further as a group whilst helping the new faces transition seamlessly to life in Manchester.

On the more immediate horizon, Jeglertz and his team are building towards our first pre-season friendly, a trip to Fiorentina on Saturday 8 August, with tickets available here.

Until then, the team continued pre-season with a Friday training session.
