Manchester United boss Marc Skinner is relishing competing on four fronts this season and says he "wouldn't swap it for the world".

Skinner has steered United into second place in the Women's Super League with the side on a run of eight games unbeaten in all competitions.

On Saturday, they travel to struggling Leicester City before heading to Atletico Madrid next Thursday for the first leg of the Champions League knockout round play-offs.

Also on the horizon are an FA Cup fifth-round tie against Chelsea before the League Cup final against the same opponents next month.

"We are fully focused on each task," he said in his pre-match news conference. "We have got to get the rotation right and get the right players in the right game at the right time. That is my challenge.

"It is really exciting. I wouldn't swap it for the world even though we have many tough asks coming up."

Skinner has strengthened United's squad in the transfer window with the signings of striker Lea Schuller, forward Ellen Wangerheim and defender Hanna Lundkvist.

While satisfied with his options, he did suggest United will be active once again over the summer.

"I am really happy with the work we have done," he said. "Quality players for now and the future.

"But I can't stress it enough – we are still working for the summer and beyond. If we add another three to five players in the summer, we will be in a good space for next season as well."
