On the opening weekend of the 2019–20 FA WSL season, Stoney managed United in the team's first Manchester derby in front of a crowd of 31,213, an English domestic women's league record.

On 8 November 2019, Stoney signed a contract extension with Manchester United, keeping her at the club until 2022.
