Momentum continues to build at Manchester United as the team impresses in their current campaign.
Ruben Amorim’s second season has injected renewed belief at Old Trafford, while the women’s team have been setting new standards on the pitch.
Supporters have taken notice of the remarkable performances across both squads, with unity and ambition defining the new era.
As excitement grows ahead of key fixtures, recognition has arrived for one of United’s most influential figures.
And this time, it was the women’s manager who took centre stage at a glittering awards ceremony.
Marc Skinner was named Women’s Manager of the Season at the prestigious North-West Football Awards on Monday night, as United revealed via their website.
The honour, renamed this year as the Matt Beard Women’s Manager of the Season Award, paid tribute to the late Liverpool Women boss who passed away in September.
Beard’s brother, Mark, presented the trophy to Marc Skinner, adding a deeply emotional touch to the evening’s proceedings.
Skinner’s recognition followed an outstanding season that saw Manchester United Women finish third in the Women’s Super League.
The achievement cemented their place among the elite and demonstrated the progress made under his leadership.
United Women have since carried that momentum into the new campaign, going unbeaten in their opening seven WSL fixtures.
Five wins and two draws have set the tone for another promising season, while their performances in Europe have been equally impressive.
Skinner’s side successfully navigated the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds before opening their group stage with wins against Valerenga and Atletico Madrid.
Their next major challenge sees them face French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford on 12 November, a fixture that promises to showcase just how far the team has come.
The recognition at the awards not only reflects Skinner’s tactical acumen but also his role in transforming the culture and confidence of the squad.
As the club’s women’s side continues to flourish, the future looks brighter than ever under his guidance.
For Manchester United, success is no longer confined to history — it’s unfolding across every level of the club.
