Marc Skinner Hopes for Extended Collaboration with Grace Clinton

Manchester United manager Marc Skinner has expressed his desire to continue working with England international Grace Clinton for “many years to come.” Clinton has recently scored two goals in four appearances for England. Clinton initially joined United from Everton in July 2022, signing a three-year contract that includes an option for an additional year. She had successful loan spells with Bristol City and Tottenham before returning to United this season as an England international. The 21-year-old’s impressive performance in England’s 2-1 friendly victory over South Africa has fueled speculation regarding her future and the perceived necessity for United to secure her long-term commitment. When questioned about a potential contract extension, Skinner stated: “When I signed her, she was one I identified early at Everton and thought she had a fantastic future. I’m sure the club and her representatives will be speaking. I just don’t have involvement in that. My job is to make sure Grace is performing on the field and at the minute, she is doing fantastic. She loves being here – I know that. I want to work with her for many years to come.”
