Melvine Malard joins Manchester United on transfer deadline day. The 23-year old moves on loan until the end of the season from Olympique Lyonnais where she has spent the last nine years, racking up 33 goals in 94 appearances for them.
The striker played her earlier years for her hometown club Saint-Denis.
Malard has represented France in all youth levels, scoring 32 goals in 48 youth caps. She made her full international debut in 2020 and has 6 goals in 21 caps for France. She played in the Euros in 2022 but missed out on the WWC this summer, despite scoring three goals in six appearances in their qualifying campaign.
She's won the French league title with Lyon four times. The strong forward also has four UEFA Champions League winning medals and has scored eight goals on top of assisting eight times in 16 UWCL appearances thus far. She finished last season with four goals and four assists in eight matches in the competition.
Add the three Coupe de France trophies as well as U19s Euros title in the mix and I guess we could safely say that we’ve signed another player who knows a thing or two about winning.
171cm tall Malard adds some much needed depth to our striker department and I think she is capable of competing with Geyse for playing time.
Bienvenue!
