Mannion said on the club's official website: "I'm so delighted to be staying here at United.

"It was an easy choice for me and I'm really pleased to continue this journey and see where we can go over the next few seasons."

Skinner said: "Aoife is a key part of our squad on and off the field and consistently displays the values and leadership qualities required to play for Manchester United.

"We are delighted that Aoife will continue her career with us and this new contract is a testament to her hard work and commitment to the red shirt."
