However, in her first video interview, uploaded to the club’s YouTube channel on Monday, the highly-rated German international Lea Schuller was spotted next to her on the pitch.
Fans of United were left completely shocked, with one person taking to social media to joke: “Ahhh @ManUtdWomen could have at least maintained some suspense instead of fully revealing the next announcement.”
Another remarked: “What a blunder, but what a great signing!”
A third user commented: “GOOD AFTERNOON TO UNITED ACCIDENTALLY REVEALING THAT LEA SCHÜLLER IS A RED.”
While a fourth wrote: “They didn’t even attempt to conceal Schüller.”
Shortly after being posted on Monday, the video was removed from YouTube.
It was later edited and re-uploaded, just before Schuller was officially announced as a player.
Following her arrival, the 28-year-old stated: “From the initial discussions I had with Marc [Skinner] and the club, the ambitions of everyone here were very evident.
“I still have many goals I wish to achieve in my career, and I know that Manchester United is the ideal club for me.
“I believe that the team’s style of play will align well with my game, and I hope my skills and experience can assist us in reaching our objectives both in England and beyond.”
Schuller joined Manchester United just before entering the final six months of her contract with the German team.
