Garcia is United manager Marc Skinner's fifth signing for the new Women's Super League season, which starts on 9 September.

"The fact that a club the size of Manchester United has put their faith in me is a dream come true," she said.

Garcia, who played for Spain at this summer's European Championship, added: "I already feel very much at home here. There's a great family atmosphere at the club, which is the exact environment in which I thrive.

"I will give everything I have on the field to make our fans proud and hopefully score a few goals as well!"

United have also brought in Maya Le Tissier, Grace Clinton, Rachel Williams and Canada forward Adriana Leon during the summer transfer window.
