Former Birmingham manager Marc Skinner has been named as the new head coach of Manchester United Women.

The 38-year-old resigned from his role in charge of US side Orlando Pride last week to spark speculation he would replace Casey Stoney at the FA Women's Super League club.

On Thursday the appointment was confirmed by United, with Skinner signing a two-year contract with the option for a further year.
