Polly Bancroft is to step down as Manchester United’s head of women’s football at the end of the season to become Chief Executive of Grimsby Town FC.
Since joining the club in October 2022, Bancroft has overseen the continued development of United into a leading force in the women’s game.
Highlights included reaching our inaugural FA Cup final last season and finishing second in the Women’s Super League, sealing UEFA Champions League qualification for the first time.
As well as supporting head coach Marc Skinner and his staff, Bancroft helped deliver major improvements in infrastructure for the women’s team, including a new elite training facility at Carrington.
