MANCHESTER UNITED confirmed the signing of Germany striker Lea Schuller from Bayern Munich today.

Schuller, who scored over 100 goals during a trophy-laden five-and-a-half year stay at Bayern and has 54 in 82 games for Germany, will join the Women’s Super League club on January 1, subject to international clearance and registration.

The 28-year-old told the United website: “From the first conversations that I had with Marc [Skinner, manager] and the club, the ambitions of everyone here were very clear.

“I still have so much that I want to achieve in my career, and I know that Manchester United is the perfect club to join.

“I feel that the team’s style of football will really suit my game, I hope my qualities and experience can help us to achieve our aims both in England and in the Champions League.”
