Manchester United have signed Euro 2022 winner Nikita Parish from Women’s Super League rivals Arsenal.
The 28-year-old forward made two substitute appearances during England’s campaign and has won 67 caps for the Lionesses.
He joins Marc Skinner’s side after one season with Arsenal, following previous spells at Everton and Manchester City.
“It feels incredible to be here,” said Paris, who has signed a deal until the end of the 2023/24 season.
Paris, from Liverpool, won the Champions League with Lyon in 2020 and will now link up with fellow Lionesses Ella Toon, Alecia Russo and Mary Earps at United.
“It’s been quite a summer and this wraps it up,” he added. “Manchester United is a historic club making big moves in the WSL and I can’t wait to be a part of it [the club’s] future success.
“With a winning mentality in matches and training, I want to help this team progress and develop. I’m not the only new signing this summer, which shows the club’s intention to do just that. I’m very happy to be here and I can’t wait to get started.”
Skinner will be hoping to improve on last season’s fourth-place finish in the WSL, which saw the Red Devils narrowly miss out on European football.
“Nikita’s winning pedigree will be a great addition to our team,” he said.
“She is a proven winner both domestically and internationally and will bring a real maturity to the environment.
“Securing a player of Nikita’s caliber cements this great club’s ambitions for next season and we look forward to welcoming her back to pre-season after a well-deserved rest!”
