Casey Stoney led Manchester United to back-to-back fourth-place finishes in the Women's Super LeagueCasey Stoney was there from the start for Manchester United but now the club faces a future without her. Former England captain - and one of the most respected figures in women's football - Stoney was brought in. Stoney led the team to back-to-back fourth-place finishes in the WSL but while there was development on the pitch, improvements off the field had not moved at the same pace.
