Jayde Riviere pens new long-term Man Utd contract | OneFootball

Manchester United defender Jayde Riviere has put pen to paper on a new contract keeping her at the club until the summer of 2028, with the option of a further year.

The Canada international joined the Red Devils in January 2023 when she signed the first professional contract of her career. She has so far made 32 appearances across all competitions and has earned 47 caps for her national side at the age of 23.

The right-back has been a regular figure in Marc Skinner's side this season with ten appearances so far. United currently sit fourth in the WSL standings after ten games and are seven points off rivals Chelsea in top spot.

Riviere told club media: "I feel the honour of being a Manchester United player every time I step on the pitch, so I'm thrilled that this journey is going to continue.

"Winning the FA Cup last season gave us all a taste of success and I'll continue to give everything I have to achieve more moments like that for our fans."

Matt Johnson, interim head of women's football, added: "Jayde is a talented young player who is ambitious and determined with the potential to be world class. She has already achieved a lot at a relatively young age, but we know there is more to come, and we are delighted that she will continue her development at Manchester United."

United returned to action after the winter break over the weekend with a comfortable 7-0 triumph over West Brom in the fourth round of the FA Cup. This week, focus returns to the league as they prepare for a local derby away at Manchester City.
