‘It was the right choice for the right reasons’ – Manchester United head coach Stoney has no regrets about stepping down

The Women's Super League club announced earlier this week that the manager would leave her role at the end of the season after three years in charge

Manchester United head coach Casey Stoney says her decision to step down is “the right choice for the right reasons” after her final game in charge on Sunday.

It wasn’t the way she wanted it to end, with the Red Devils knocked out of the Women’s FA Cup just a few days after the news was announced. Recently-promoted Leicester City came from behind twice to win 3-2 in a thrilling game, sending them into the quarter-finals of the competition for a second successive season.
