• Delighted Skinner says ‘it is an absolute privilege’

The Manchester United women’s team head coach Marc Skinner has signed a new contract until June 2027, with the option of an extra year.

Skinner’s previous contract had been set to expire at the end of this season. He is already the longest-serving current manager at a WSL club, having been appointed in the summer of 2021 following the resignation of Casey Stoney.
