Man Utd Women’s Academy awards for 2023/24 presented to Under-21 and Under-16 players

The coaching staff’s choice of winner is a superb player with a bright future. She never stops finding ways to challenge and develop herself and her game, by engaging with every aspect of resource available to her. Amelia demands incredibly high standards of herself and her team-mates, and has shown real personal growth and maturity this season. She is a real credit to the club after 10 years here so far.

Players’ Player of the Year: Lucy Newell
An outstanding athlete, technician, team-mate and all-round footballer, Lucy has performed excellently for our Under-21s and for West Bromwhich Albion during a loan spell in Tier 3. Regularly training with the first team, her focus and drive is second to none and that is shown on the pitch week in, week out. There is much more to come from Lucy in the years ahead.

Young Player of the Year: Lucy Newell

Values Player: Jen Handy and Holly Deering
Both players have a fantastic manner about them at all times and always bring smiles to the training ground and on matchdays. They are both integral to the harmony and vibe of the group and will always ensure standards are met by themselves and by the squad. They are excellent team-mates, well liked by everybody, and are considered a pleasure to work with.
