Analysis from Sky Sports’ Laura Hunter:

“Skinner has become the longest WSL service manager this season. His four years in charge of MAN UTD varied in success, but constantly, Skinner oversee the period of huge growth. The best three leagues became the first four, with far less predictability.

“Consistent campaign was especially served by Skinner at a time when the club was craving for stability. A lot of changes occurred during intense 18 months of surveillance. Others were players and everyone could talk.

“Fans became disenfranchised by the so -called lack of the progress of the project – and the fact that their favorite players were jumping the ship. Alessia Russo joined Arsenal, she went to Barcelona, ​​Mary Earps went because of PSG, and Captain Katie called her time on her six years.

“But Skinner’s approach was to use a transition as a clean board. He wanted – and still wants to build a team with youth and alive, the one who echoes with fans, local communities of Manchester and beyond. Man UTD crossed from one of the oldest teams in the league in one of the youngest at an average age of an average age.

“Still, the results have become better not worse. Managers are evaluated according to form and results, and so far there is a little complaining about this term.

“Last season, not enough achievement, finishing in fifth place in the league, probably demanded a summer change. Perhaps positive calls can be gathered from the bruise of the past. There will always be a few bones of quarrels, but Skinner -Appetite has not switched for a number of penalties for several seasons.

“In an era where we are obsessed with rating and ranking, it is quite obvious that Skinner goes fine. As Manchester United turns out of four participants to true challengers, he should now be his next biggest measure.”
