Manchester United have pulled off a coup by signing prolific goal-scorer Lea Schüller, who has consistently outperformed her teammates with 54 goals in just 82 internationals for Germany. The 28-year-old striker brings with her an impressive record of success, having scored over 100 goals at Bayern Munich and consistently breaking the ten-goal barrier in the German Frauen Bundesliga.
Schüller's attributes make her a perfect fit for Manchester United's high-intensity style of play, which relies heavily on crosses and aerial threats. According to Daniel Kraus, who coached Schüller at SGS Essen between 2016 and 2019, "She has everything to be a world-class striker" and is well-suited to playing off crosses and in the box.
The arrival of Schüller marks a significant improvement on Manchester United's goal-scoring record, with no player managing more than ten league goals in a single season since their promotion to the Women's Super League in 2019. With Schüller at the helm, hopes are high that she can deliver a winning formula for the club.
Schüller herself is optimistic about her new role and expressed confidence in her ability to score goals and contribute to Manchester United's success. When asked in an interview with MUTV what makes this team "special" and how he thinks she'll fit in, Schüller replied that "the way they play football can fit me very well," adding that her speed and aerial threat will make her a key target for crosses.
With Opta data suggesting United are one of the top teams in terms of crosses this season, it seems like Schüller is already fitting in seamlessly. Her arrival has boosted hopes of securing a winning formula for Manchester United's women's team, and fans are eagerly anticipating her first game and how she will score goals for the club.
