Former Manchester United boss Casey Stoney is interested in becoming Arsenal’s next manager following the resignation of Jonas Eidevall.

The Swede stood down on Tuesday following a dismal start to the Gunners’ WSL campaign.

Stoney became United’s first women’s team manager in 2018 and spent three years at the club.

She had been seen as a successor for Emma Hayes at Chelsea but Stoney decided to remain with the San Diego Wave.

But the Wave parted ways with Stoney in June and she’s keen on a return to England, according to the Times.
