Manchester United Women bounced back to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Liverpool in a pre-season game at Carrington on Wednesday afternoon.
Two first-half goals from Ella Toone set the hosts up well as the Reds dominated possession and continued to push forward in this pre-season friendly.
Shortly before half-time, the visitors pulled a goal back through an easy tap-in for Natasha Flint.
Both sides made mass changes after the break and it took a while to settle back into the game but with just over 20 minutes left to play, Geyse added to her pre-season tally with a confident strike from the edge of the area.
The 3-1 victory was just what the United women needed following last week’s narrow defeat to Bayern Munich in Germany.
England trio Ella Toone, Mary Earps and Katie Zelem appeared for Manchester United for the first time since reaching the final of the Women’s World Cup, with midfielder Toone on the scoresheet twice at Carrington.
Brazil international Geyse, one of United’s five summer signings, added a third in the second half after Natasha Flint pulled one back for the visitors.
In-demand goalkeeper Earps and captain Zelem played the first 45 minutes, and Skinner believes his senior stars will be vital in helping the new faces settle.
