Ivana Ferreira Fuso signs new Man Utd contract & joins Bayer Leverkusen on loan | OneFootball

Manchester United have confirmed that Ivana Ferreira Fuso will spend the 2022/23 campaign on loan at Bayer Leverkusen.

Fuso has also signed a contract extension with the Red Deviils until the end of the 2023/24 season.

Head coach Marc Skinner believes this is a good chance for the Brazil international to develop her skillset and return as a better player.

"This loan move is an excellent opportunity for Ivana to play regular first team football. We know that she will continue to develop personally and professionally and come back an even better player for Manchester United Women," he said.

"The German league is very good for the development of young players and a place where Ivana can express herself. We will be monitoring Ivana closely throughout the season and look forward to seeing her thrive in the Frauen-Bundesliga."

Fuso is returning to Germany, where she was raised, after she spent two years at Freiburg between 2017 and 2019. She then joined Swiss side Basel before making the move to England with Manchester United.
