""From the first conversations that I had with [manager] Marc [Skinner] and the club, the ambitions of everyone hear were very clear," said Schuller. "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.""
"Matt Johnson, Manchester United's director of women's football, said: "Lea's goal-scoring record is phenomenal, her style of play will give our attack an exciting new dimension. We are delighted to add a player of her pedigree to the group. "Lea's winning mentality and experience will really help our young and ambitious team as we continue to grow together and compete across domestic and European competitions.""
