Skinner had a spell on the Russian mountains at the club, in the face of criticisms constantly by supporters, while competing for one of the first three points of the WSL.
It was a forced spokesman, in response to the questions asked about Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s comments on the women’s team, on the departure of the former sports director Dan Ashworth, on the contract renewal negotiations for key players and unpleasant departures of others.
But through this he had a successful spell, leading United to their first big trophy in the Fa Cup female last season and looking for a third consecutive final in competition this year.
The questioning signs on his position existed last May, but since then he led United through a strong campaign and seems destined to seal a place in the Champions League next year.
The latter extension of the contract, which comes a year after signing a short -term agreement, is a reward for an impressive season.
But the expectations will be high next year, with the United that needs to demonstrate that he can compete in Europe.
