Manchester United Women have brought to an end an eventful transfer window.

The Red Devils made a significant change at the start of August, with Marc Skinner departing his role as head coach and Eva Olid replacing him.

Ins

Before this movement in August, however, United had already brought in young defender Andrea Medina from Spanish club Atletico Madrid.

United then brought in experienced Leicester City goalkeeper Janina Leitzig as back-up for Phallon Tullis-Joyce in goal.

There was a lull in activity for most of August, but United came to life with two signings in a dramatic final week of the window.

Monica Jusu-Bah became the latest Swede to join the club and will bring much-needed pace to the wing.

Finally, veteran Mexican captain Rebeca Bernal was also added to the group and will bring valuable experience to the side.

Outs

United were also very busy with departures, as a series of veterans left the team.

Leah Galton left the club on a free transfer at the start of the summer.

Millie Turner was another experienced option who left for Birmingham City, and Lisa Naalsund also followed her there.

Hannah Blundell also left permanently for Everton after spending last season on loan at the club.

United lost another defender as Gabby George moved to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Nonetheless, the biggest move was losing Melvine Malard to Chelsea in a huge deal.

Loans

United also sent some youngsters out on loan in search of valuable game time.

Safia Middleton-Patel left for Watford on loan, and fellow academy keeper Kayla Rendell joined Newcastle United.
