Manchester United Women have announced the signing of Nikita Parris.
The England international forward has joined United from Women's Super League rivals Arsenal on a contract running until 2024. Parris returns to Manchester three years on from her departure from neighbours Manchester City, where she enjoyed great success in winning the WSL as well as the FA Cup and WSL Cup two times apiece.
The 28-year-old left the Blues, after netting 33 goals in 59 league games, in 2019 for serial Champions League winners Lyon. She got her hands on Europe's top prize in 2020 before returning to England last summer with the Gunners. Parris is a tenured England international with 67 caps to her name and was a member of Sarina Wiegman's triumphant Lionesses squad that won the European Championships by defeating Germany 2-1 at Wembley last Sunday.
