England star Nikita Parris was introduced late on following her summer move from Arsenal to United and almost added a fifth, heading just wide in the 80th minute. It was a trademark goal from the 23-year-old, as she towered over her marker to nod in Ona Batlle's cross. United are back in action next Sunday when they take on West Ham at Victoria Road. Arsenal won their opening game of the season on Friday by beating Brighton 4-0 at Meadow Park. Le Tissier headed in on this occasion to make it 3-0. The skipper stepped up and confidently dispatched the penalty. Zelem got the chance to double United's lead moments later when Moloney brought Russo down in the box. It was a cheeky finish, too, as the 20-year-old defender flicked the ball over goalkeeper Grace Moloney. Russo all but ended the contest just before half-time when she made it 4-0. It's fair to assume the United boss wasn't disappointed at full-time. "I want us to be more exciting in our one-on-one situations - I want us to be a team," he told United's website.
