“Obviously we’re not where we want to be in the league, right? But we are history makers for Manchester United,” Skinner told the BBC.
“We want to be challenging for titles, of course we do, but you all know, adding that first piece of silverware is really important for the psyche, and so we’ve got nothing but growth to happen.”
Toone’s solo effort, running from deep in midfield and then dispatching an inch-perfect curled shot from outside the box, was a spectacular way to make the breakthrough in what had been an evenly fought battle until that point late in the first half, and the United boss wanted to make sure those key players savour these memories.
He said to the BBC: “Tooney scored one like that against Leicester [recently] and to do it at Wembley; [it’s] such a special moment.
“But I just reminded her up there: ‘Just feel it. Just remember it. Feel it.’ Because it comes and goes too quick and so, for her, congratulations. To the whole team, congratulations. [A] magnificent performance.”
