Manchester United have signed the Women’s World Cup winner Irene Guerrero from Atlético Madrid. The Spanish midfielder was an unused substitute in Spain’s 1-0 defeat of England in the final of the World Cup and made three substitute appearances in Australia and New Zealand for the eventual champions. The 26-year-old joined Real Betis in 2015 and spent five years at the club before moving to Levante and then Atlético.

Guerrero is “very happy and very privileged” to have joined the Women’s Super League runners-up. “I am very proud to be part of the Manchester United family and look forward to achieving all our goals together,” she said.
