Kirk, 40, comes with a very good pedigree and has gained considerable experience with elite players both in Scotland and in England. He is the former head coach of Bristol City Women and led the team to promotion to the top flight from WSL2 in 2016.
Willie Kirk said:
“To have the chance to work with Casey Stoney and to be part of a team that is being set up from scratch, to me, is an opportunity not to be missed. Manchester United is renowned around the globe for developing young talent and that will continue in the women’s team.
