Marc Skinner has committed to Manchester United for an additional two years. His contract, initially set to end this season, now extends until June 2027, with a possible extra year. Since taking over in 2021, Skinner has managed 119 matches across all competitions, securing victory in 77 of them. This gives him a win rate of 64.71%. Under his leadership, United claimed their first major trophy by winning the FA Cup last year.

In the Women's Super League (WSL), Skinner's team averages 2.08 points per game. They have won 53 out of 84 matches during his tenure. The team has scored 179 goals and conceded 75 under his guidance. Currently, United is third in the WSL standings, tied on points with Arsenal and trailing Chelsea by six points with four games left.

The Red Devils are on track to qualify for the Women's Champions League for the second time after finishing second last season. They have the league's best defence this season, conceding only nine goals so far.

Skinner expressed his excitement about continuing as head coach: "It has been an absolute privilege to serve as head coach for this fantastic football club for the past four years, and I am delighted to be extending my time in the role for at least a further two years." He aims to build a young team capable of consistently competing for trophies.

Skinner also highlighted the hard work ahead: "There is still more hard work ahead, including this season, but the players and staff have already shown their determination to succeed." He looks forward to advancing together with his team.

United reached the FA Cup final last year under Skinner's leadership and will face Manchester City in this season's semi-final on April 13. The team's progress reflects their growing strength and ambition under his guidance.
