Lyn told the players that she regularly watches them in action and singled out England and United goalkeeper, Mary Earps, for praise.
She said: "I always sit with this [shirt] when you are playing. I love seeing you play. And Mary, the goalkeeper, how she saves the goal. I am full of life today. Still going. But they've been feeding me up today, I'll need a bigger size!"
