Manchester United Women have confirmed the departure of assistant coach Martin Ho after three-and-a-half seasons with the club.
Ho was first appointed to the first team set-up in 2020 following Glen Harris' retirement at the end of the 2019/20 campaign. He'd already worked with the club's under-21 WSL academy and had experience at both Liverpool and Everton.
He worked with former United manager Casey Stoney and then under Marc Skinner, who was appointed a year after his arrival. Last term, he helped Skinner guide United to their first ever Women's FA Cup final and a second-place finish in the Women's Super League.
