Defender, Andrea Medina said she is "excited to join a team that is determined to write its own chapter" as she signed a contract with Manchester United until June 2029, with the option of an additional year. The 22-year-old was called up to Spain's senior squad in May, arrives with an impressive record at youth international level, having won the FIFA U20 World Cup and lifted the UEFA U19 Championship twice. Medina has spent the past four seasons with Atletico Madrid, where she made 131 appearances. "Competing against United last season showed me how strong the group is and just how much this club means to our supporters." 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."
