Midfielder Ella Toone says she is “grateful” to former Manchester United manager Marc Skinner following her departure from the club. Multiple reports state that Skinner helped her through the death of her father, and Toone credits him with support during a difficult period. The reports also note that Skinner’s own departure from Manchester United is confirmed, and Toone publicly acknowledges him afterward. One outlet highlights that Toone will always be grateful for Skinner’s role in her personal and wellbeing journey, describing him in appreciative terms. The coverage presents Toone’s comments as a personal thank-you rather than a debate about sporting decisions. Overall, the articles agree that Toone’s message centres on her relationship with Skinner and the support she received while dealing with bereavement, following both Skinner’s exit and Toone’s own departure from the club. No additional details are provided in the excerpts about the reasons for either departure beyond the reported confirmation and Toone’s remarks.
