The 2024–25 season was Manchester United Women's seventh season since they were founded and their sixth in the Women's Super League, the professional top-flight women's league in England. The club also competed in the FA Cup and League Cup.

Ahead of the season, manager Marc Skinner signed a one-year contract extension. Later in the season, on 2 April 2025, he signed a further contract extension until 2027 with the option for a further year.

Following the departure of Katie Zelem in June 2024, Maya Le Tissier was named as her successor as club captain on 27 August 2024, with Ella Toone being named as vice-captain.

For the fifth consecutive season, Manchester United Women scheduled at Old Trafford. The first match of the season against West Ham United was played at the stadium on 21 September 2024 along with the team's final home match of the season against Manchester City on 4 May 2025, marking the second consecutive season United has hosted the Manchester derby at Old Trafford. A third match, against WSL debutants Crystal Palace on 16 February 2025, was initially scheduled to take place at Old Trafford, but was later moved to Leigh Sports Village instead.

Pre-season and friendlies Amid disruptions caused by ongoing redevelopment work to the men's first-team facilities at United's Carrington training base, the club confirmed United Women would spend multiple weeks of pre-season based at St George's Park in Burton upon Trent. In September, the team will spend a week at the Marbella Football Center in Spain. The pre-season fixtures were announced on 31 July 2024. The game against Liverpool scheduled for 25 August was cancelled the day before the game due to a lack of Liverpool player availability.
