Matt Johnson, director of women’s football at Manchester United, said: “We are delighted to have attracted Jess to Manchester United. She brings excellent technical quality, creative ability, and a winning mentality; and, importantly, she showed a strong desire to join the club and be part of the project we are building here.

“As the transfer window draws to a close, we are very pleased with the investments we have made in Jess, Julia, and Fridolina – all world-class players who know what it takes to compete and win at the highest level. They will further strengthen our talented young squad as we look to take the next steps forward in our development, this season and beyond.”
