Having collected 12 points from six league games, Man United head into the weekend in third position and four points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
While they may be frustrated at the fact they have drawn three of their six WSL matches, they will be pleased to be one of two teams yet to lose a top-flight game this season.
They are also the second-highest scorers in the WSL after taking their tally to 17 points with an empathic 5-0 victory over West Ham United last weekend.
Geyse, Millie Turner and Nikita Parris all found the net to give the Red Devils a 3-0 half-time lead, before Lucia Garcia and Melvine Malard grabbed a goal apiece in the second period.
That impressive result extended their unbeaten home run to 17 competitive matches, and they will look to continue that fine record when they swap Leigh Sports Village for the grandeur of Old Trafford.

While the Red Devils will be buoyed by a dominant victory, Man City will have to pick themselves up after being stunned by Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend.
Lee Geum-min scored the only goal of the game in the 81st minute to condemn the Citizens to their first home league defeat since November 2021, leaving them in sixth position and two points adrift of their local rivals.
After losing to Arsenal prior to their meeting with Brighton, Man City are now at risk of losing three consecutive WSL matches for the first time in over two years.
They will go into Sunday’s contest with aspirations of claiming their first away victory over Man United in the WSL, having drawn two and lost one of their previous three meetings in the competition.
After winning four of their five competitive away games this season, Man City certainly have reason to believe they can claim all three points on Sunday.

The Red Devils remain without the services of long-term absentees Lucy Watson, Gabby George and Aoife Mannion.
Man United boss Marc Skinner has revealed that 18-year-old defender Evie Rabjohn will also miss out with a foot injury, while Spain international Irene Guerrero is still a couple of weeks away from returning to action.
After seeing his side produce a dominant display against West Ham, Skinner could be tempted to name an unchanged starting lineup for the Manchester derby.
As for Man City, they will welcome back Alex Greenwood, who has passed the necessary concussion protocols following a three-game absence.
After having to settle for a place on the bench last weekend, Lauren Hemp could be brought into the starting lineup for the derby.
Bunny Shaw has scored two league goals this season, and she will be looking to add to her tally when she leads the line on Sunday.
Manchester United Women possible starting lineup:Earps; Riviere, Le Tissier, Turner, Blundell; Toone, Zelem, Miyazawa; Parris, Galton, Geyse
Manchester City Women possible starting lineup:Keating; Morgan, Kennedy, Greenwood, Aleixandri; Roord, Hasegawa; Kelly, Fowler, Hemp; Shaw
We say: Manchester United Women 2-1 Manchester City Women
Man United are unbeaten in 11 home league games, and we think they will continue that fine run of form with a victory over their local rivals, who will be struggling for confidence after losing their last two matches to Arsenal and Brighton.For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here.

Sean Dyche was forced into one alteration from the team that lost to Manchester United last week with Dominic Calvert-Lewin left out through injury, allowing Beto to make the starting 11.
Notably, the pink protest cards were out in force by the Everton faithful again this week.
There was little to choose between the sides during the opening exchanges, though Anthony Elanga looked like the most dangerous player on the pitch over the first 20 minutes, with Ashley Young struggling to keep up with the 21-year-old.
However, the first big chance of the match fell the way of The Toffees when Odysseas Vlachodimos dropped a high ball into the box that fell at the feet of Beto, but the forward skied his first-time effort over the bar from roughly 12 yards out.
Forest had their first real sight of goal at the half-hour mark, with Elanga getting on the end of a cross into the box, but the forward was unable to guide the ball inside the far post with his attempt.
The best chance of the first half went the way of the visitors when Abdoulaye Doucoure played in Dwight McNeil, who put his shot past Vlachodimos, but Murillo got back on the line and cleared the ball to safety off the face of the upright.
It was all square at the interval, but Everton should probably have been in the lead with two big chances wasted.
Forest made a bright start to the second half and almost got the opening goal with a shot from Felipe that struck the woodwork.
Amid the tussle in the box during that attempt, Doucoure looked to have pulled Yates to the ground, which the referee waved on, and after a VAR review, the video assistants decided there was not enough evidence to overturn the onfield decision.
Unfortunately for Forest, their frustrations were compounded 10 minutes later as Beto miscued a header in the opposing box that fell to McNeil, who lashed a powerful shot into the top corner to give The Toffees the lead.
Elanga almost pulled his side level twice in the final 10 minutes but saw his first attempt smothered by Jordan Pickford, while his second went just wide of the far post from a snap shot.
Everton parked the bus in stoppage time and saw the game out for a big three points.
Forest will head to Craven Cottage in midweek to take on Fulham while Everton will welcome Newcastle United to Goodison Park on Thursday night.
More to follow.
