CASEY STONEY wants to become the Alex Ferguson of women’s football after taking the Manchester United Women job.

Ex-England captain Stoney was named the first head coach of the newly formed United team on June 8.

The 36-year-old, who had a short spell as assistant to England Women manager Phil Neville before heading to Lancashire, hopes to emulate the success of long-serving former United boss Ferguson.
