Man Utd Women Confirm Andrea Medina as Their First New Signing of the Summer

Man Utd Women sign versatile defender Andrea Medina on a contract until June 2029, with the option of an additional year.

Medina was named to Spain’s senior squad in May, having previously helped her country win the Under-20 World Cup and the UEFA Under-19 Championship twice.

She had played for Atletico 131 times over the last four seasons, including starting in all three of last season’s UEFA Women’s Champions League matches against Manchester United.

Andrea Medina told manutd.com: “Manchester United has an incredible history, and I am excited to join a team that is determined to write its own chapter at one of the most important clubs in the world.

“Competing against United last season showed me how strong the group is and just how much this club means to our supporters. The passion from everyone who travelled over to Madrid was unbelievable, that atmosphere stayed with me and I cannot wait to represent you every time I step onto the pitch.

“I am ready for the next stage of my career and to show my qualities in the intensity of the English game.”

Matt Johnson, Director of Women’s Football at Manchester United, said: “Andrea has all of the technical attributes, character and determination required to thrive at Manchester United.

“She is a player who we have admired for a long time and we are delighted to add her unique qualities to our group, particularly after significant interest from clubs across Europe.

“Despite being only 22, and still having enormous potential to develop, Andrea already has excellent experience. Everyone at the club is excited to help her to achieve her ambitions in the years ahead.”
