Manchester United boss Marc Skinner steps down

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner has stepped down from his position. The decision was reached by mutual agreement between the coach and the club, arriving just one month before the start of the new Women's Super League campaign.

During his five-year tenure, the 43-year-old led the team to their first major trophy, securing the Women's FA Cup in 2024. Under his leadership, the club also reached the Women's Champions League group stages for the first time and appeared in three domestic cup finals.

Skinner's departure comes during a period of scrutiny regarding the club's transfer activity. While rivals like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Chelsea have been busy strengthening their squads, United has shifted its recruitment focus toward younger players to build long-term sustainability.

The club confirmed they are in the advanced stages of searching for a successor. According to club sources, the process is already well underway, with a specific focus on finding a coach with a proven history of player development.
