United broke women's club-sales records after signing Press and her fellow United States forward Tobin Heath. Press and Heath were the most popular names - male or female - printed on United shirts on the day they signed. It is a trend replicated across the women's game, according to leading licensed retailer Fanatics. The company claims that their global sales of women's sport merchandise have increased by 600% so far this year compared to three years ago. While growth in women's football merchandise sales in 2020 has so far been strong for clubs, on the international stage records have also been set in recent years.
