The Women's Super League kicked off in September with a host of world stars and agreements for a wider broadcast.

There was wide suspension of Football as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and the improvements are noticeable, Phil Neville says.

The England women's Manager said: "The world has changed and women's football has changed.

"I want us to embrace it and take the leap forward. If you look at the first three or four games of the season, look at the investment and the coverage of women's football.

"The players that are now coming to this country and the level of performances I have seen in the first few games of the season are far greater than what I saw before the pandemic.

"They are far more intense, physically, technically and tactically better, and there is more competition."
