United’s win meant they qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Boss Skinner said: “For me it is about hunting Chelsea now.
“We may not have the budget they have, but I am going to try my hardest, with every single second that I have with this team to now move to first place.
“There were a lot of doubters last year. But this season we have stayed true to what we want to do.”
United took a second-minute lead with Hayley Ladd lashing home from distance.

The visitors had strong penalty appeals rejected but levelled when Filippa Angeldahl’s cross crept into the net.
