Manchester United make the permanent signing of France international Melvine Malard on a three-year contract following last season’s loan from Lyon.

The 24-year-old forward initially joined United on a season-long loan, making 29 appearances and scoring 7 goals and helped lift the Women’s FA Cup for the first time.

Melvine Malard said: “I am very happy to make my stay here at Manchester United permanent, after this great club and this great city became my home last season. Here I felt loved. Thank you to the fans for welcoming me so well – I will do what it takes to give you even more than last season and I look forward to more winning seasons together.”

Head coach Marc Skinner commented: “Melvine is an excellent character on and off the pitch, with winning pedigree, who we are delighted to see join our Manchester United family on a permanent basis. She has already given our fans some great memories and will no doubt continue to do so in the coming seasons.”
