Veatriki Sarri, who created the fourth goal of United's 7-1 victory over Leicester City last weekend, has been rewarded for her sparkling start to the new season with a place at Greece's latest training camp. The player she assisted - Aimee Palmer - has joined Ellie Fletcher at Loughborough University, where England under-21's are staging games against Sweden, the USA and Norway.

Naomi Hartley is on duty with the under-19's, as they stage two friendlies ahead of October's European Championships while Keri Matthews and Izzy Ford are working with the under-18's. Matthews has been an ever-present for United so far this term. Ford could feature when they return to action at Blackburn Rovers next month after recovering from injury.
