Manchester United bolster their defence with signing of Wales international

Manchester United have signed Wales international Gemma Evans on a permanent deal in a huge boost to their squad ahead of their first season in the UEFA Women's Champions League.

Evans, who has spent two years at Women’s Super League side Reading and three seasons at Bristol, joins the Reds ahead of the 2023/24 campaign to help bolster the backline after the departure of several defenders.

The 26-year-old was ranked third-highest in the league for shots blocked (19) and sat within the top 10 of the entire top tier on clearances made (61) last campaign, bringing an abundance of top-flight experience which could prove to be key as United prepare to take on the Champions League in the new season.
