"Since United gained promotion to the Women's Super League (WSL) in the 2019-20 season, the club have added bigger names and improved their squad depth in a bid to compete on all fronts. Manchester City and England midfielder Jess Park and Fridolina Rolfö were the latest additions in the summer, the latter joining from three-time European champions Barcelona, and Marc Skinner's side have only doubled down on their approach in January."
"The Germany international spent 5½ goal-laden years at Bayern after joining them from SGS Essen in the 2020-21 season, and helped them clinch four league titles in five years. She won the Golden Boot award in the 2021-22 season, with 16 goals, and was also voted German footballer of the year in 2022 for her performances. Schüller has an incredibly consistent track record in front of goal: having scored 10+ goals in each of the last seven seasons in the Frauen Bundesliga."
Manchester United Women qualified for the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage for the first time and advanced to the knockout rounds, winning four of six games and now face Atletico Madrid in a February playoff for a quarterfinal place. Since promotion to the WSL in 2019-20 the club added higher-profile players and improved squad depth, bringing in Jess Park, Fridolina Rolfö and later Hanna Lundkvist. United reinforced their attack by signing 28-year-old forward Lea Schüller from Bayern Munich on a 3½-year contract. Schüller won domestic titles and individual awards, has a long track record of 10+ goals per season, and offers movement, acceleration and clinical finishing as a central striker.
