Manchester United has announced that head coach Marc Skinner is leaving his role with the women's team by mutual consent. Skinner, who took over the position in July 2021 following the departure of Casey Stoney, concludes a tenure that lasted three years, though reports regarding the duration of his time at the club vary slightly in context.

During his time as manager, Skinner led the team to two top-three finishes in the Women’s Super League and secured the club's first-ever qualification for the UEFA Women's Champions League in 2023. His tenure was also marked by consistent performance in domestic cup competitions, with the team reaching three consecutive FA Cup finals. The highlight of his time at the club was the 2024 FA Cup victory over Tottenham at Wembley, which stands as the team’s only major trophy to date. The club issued a statement acknowledging Skinner's contribution to the team's progress, though neither the club nor the reports provided specific details regarding the immediate plans for his successor or the reasons behind the timing of the decision just before the new season begins.
