Nadim spent a season and a half at Manchester City, leaving in January 2019 - and says she is amazed at the growth of the women's game in England since, helped by the Lionesses' success in winning Euro 2022 on home territory. In recent seasons, the staging of Women's Super League matches at Premier League stadiums has become standard practice - the Manchester derby will take place at Old Trafford in May. But for Nadim, this will be the first time she has played at Manchester United's ground. "A lot has happened in England since Euro 2022. The mentality has switched and it is beautiful to see," she said. "It makes me proud to see how far the England women's game has moved. And is well deserved. We make the same sacrifices [as men], the minimum you expect is to be treated equally. "Italy is behind where England was a few years ago. Not only the league itself, but the mentality about how women's football has been seen. It was something which was worked on when I was in England, so it will take time. "I've been to a lot of Man Utd games but never been on the field, so now I'm going to experience from the other side. "My husband is a really big United fan, so he's even more excited than me."
