Manchester United youngsters Drury and Hill sign first professional deals | OneFootball

Manchester United youngsters Layla Drury and Scarlett Hill have signed their first professional contracts with the club.

The Red Devils confirmed news of both deals via posts on their official club X account this morning.

Forward Drury has signed on with The Red Devils until summer 2029 while defender Hill is now contracted to Manchester United until summer 2028.

Last season was very much a breakthrough campaign for Drury. At just 16 years and 220 days old, the forward made her senior debut for Manchester United in an Adobe Women’s FA Cup tie against third tier Burnley, scoring in a 5-0 victory. Drury made history in becoming the club’s youngest-ever appearance-maker and goalscorer. Since making her senior debut, Drury has been able to add some further minutes to her tally in several appearances off the bench.

Defender Hill was also involved in some first team matchday squads at Manchester United last season. She spent the final three months of the campaign on loan at Sheffield United where she gained vital senior playing experience. The 18-year-old made four appearances for The Blades, helping the club to secure their Tier Two status for another season.

Further squad news will be announced by the club in due course.
