Manchester United Women manager Casey Stoney has signed a new deal at the club until at least 2022.

The former England international sealed promotion to the Women's Super League in her first season at the helm.

United have started their first season in the top flight strongly as they currently sit in fourth place, four points off league leaders Chelsea.

'I am extremely proud to be involved with Manchester United and I'm honoured to be head coach of such an incredibly hard-working and talented team.

'I'd like to thank the club for the fantastic support they have given me since we started this journey and for the trust in what we are building here.

'I'd like to mention the fans, whose support has been incredible. Our job is to put on performances for them and keep them coming back week after week, and they continue to do so in their numbers, singing loud and proud from the stands.

'Lastly I must give thanks to my players and staff for the high standards we have set during the last 16 months both on and off the pitch. We have a special group that epitomise the values of Manchester United, and there is a hugely exciting future ahead.'
