As womens' football struggles to achieve equal pay and rights, Katie Zelem believes in leading the change
Everton's Lucy Graham, right, and Manchester United's Katie Zelem battle for the ball during the FA Women's Continental League Cup match at Haig Avenue, Liverpool, England on November 3, 2019.
Zelem should be leading out United wearing the captain’s armband. But in 2013, leaving United’s youth setup was the only choice for Zelem as there was no senior team to graduate into. Zelem has witnessed the struggle to earn a living as a footballer not just early on at United, but also at Juventus. “At Old Trafford they've got 75,000 there every week and obviously we're not quite at that stage yet,” the 23-year-old midfielder said. “So until you can generate that revenue yourself, it's difficult to support the argument for equal pay.
United has no plans yet to open the far bigger Old Trafford for women’s football. Casey Stoney’s team uses Leigh Sports Village where attendances have hovered around 2,000-3,000 this season in the WSL.
