The Spaniard was reported to have agreed to join the club as early as the end of May on a free transfer, but the deal has only just been confirmed.

Official

The club’s official website announced, “Manchester United is pleased to confirm that Andrea Medina has joined the club.”

The article continues, “the versatile defender, who will wear the no.6 shirt, has signed a contract until June 2029, with the option of an additional year.”

Medina has played for Atlético Madrid over the last four seasons, including three times against United last year in the Champions League.

She also won the Copa de la Reina in 2023 with Los Colchoneros. She joined up with the senior Spain squad in May after representing her national side at various youth levels.

Excitement

Speaking after the move, Medina explained her excitement to play for the Red Devils.

Medina claimed, “Manchester United has an incredible history, and I am excited to join a team that is determined to write its own chapter at one of the most important clubs in the world.”

She also explained that playing against the Red Devils last season left a mark on her. She effused, “competing against United last season showed me how strong the group is and just how much this club means to our supporters. The passion from everyone who travelled over to Madrid was unbelievable, that atmosphere stayed with me and I cannot wait to represent you every time I step onto the pitch.”

She also explained that she feels she is ready to show off her qualities in the intense English league.

United’s Director of Women’s Football, Matt Johnson, asserted that Medina has been a long-term target and that they are “delighted to add her unique qualities to our group, particularly after significant interest from clubs across Europe.”
