Manchester United on Friday announced the appointment of Casey Stoney as head coach of their new professional women’s team.

“I am delighted to have joined Manchester United. This is the biggest club in the world,” Stoney, 36, told United’s website.

Stoney, who also represented Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympic Games, added: “The fact that we are going to have a women’s team and I’m going to be able to introduce that from scratch, to build a team, build a philosophy, with the biggest club in the world, means that, for me, there is no more exciting opportunity.

“My ultimate aim is to grow this team so that every little girl growing up dreams of playing for Manchester United when she’s older because they’re the most successful team in women’s football.”

United executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said Stoney shared the Old Trafford club’s longstanding commitment to youth development.
