Manchester United women's academy players have received the British Army treatment as part of a training day at ATR Winchester.

The military have helped many civilian teams in the past prepare for major competitions and the United youngsters were the latest to gain a glimpse of Army life.

While the Army team took a heavy defeat, facing such talented youngsters will give them an edge heading into next month's Inter Services campaign.
