Manchester United have approached Orlando Pride in the hope of appointing Marc Skinner as their women’s team head coach, Sky Sports News can confirm. Casey Stoney resigned from her role at United in May and has since been unveiled as the head coach of San Diego's new NWSL team. Skinner has been in charge of Orlando since January 2019, when he left Women's Super League side Birmingham City to move to the United States. He oversaw significant improvements during his time in charge of Birmingham, leaving them when they were sitting in fourth place behind Women's Super League heavy-hitters Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea. Sky Sports has announced a three-year deal with the FA to become the primary broadcaster of the Barclays Women's Super League from September 2021.
