Man Utd Women sign Bruun | Caldwell, Moore also confirmed

Manchester United Women have signed Lyon forward Signe Bruun on loan, after also completing moves for Diane Caldwell and Jade Moore on Deadline Day in the WSL.

The signing of Bruun is the biggest deal of the WSL January transfer window after the 23-year-old won the title in France at Paris-Saint Germain last season.

The Denmark international, who joined Lyon last summer, arrived in the UK on Thursday morning after a deal was agreed between the clubs.

Bruun told the club's website: "It's amazing to be here, I'm really happy to be joining Manchester United. It is a big club with huge history, I have followed the women's project for a while and have seen the progression of the team, and I think this move was a perfect match for me."

Bruun currently has 19 caps for Denmark, scoring 14 goals, and was also recently voted as Denmark's Player of the Year.

Manager Marc Skinner said: "We are delighted to welcome Signe to the club, she is an exceptional player, and it really shows the ambition of the club in securing this move. Signe's talent speaks for itself but her ability to find the narrowest of spaces in the box and be so deadly in front of goal is something that we're really excited to see."

Meanwhile, United have already made a signing on Deadline Day after confirming the arrival of defender Diane Caldwell on a contract until the end of the season.

The 33-year-old defender, who can also play in midfield, spent the 2021 season with North Carolina Courage in the United States, and has previous experience in Germany, Iceland, Norway and at home in Ireland.

But the Republic international said a move to United was the one she had always wanted.

"Today is one of the most special moments in my life so far," Caldwell said.
