Manchester United have pulled off a major coup by signing prolific striker Lea Schüller, but what can fans expect from her at Old Trafford? At 28, the German forward boasts an impressive goal-scoring record in Germany's Frauen Bundesliga and international football.
Schüller's statistics are nothing short of remarkable. With 54 goals in 82 international appearances, she is one of the most prolific strikers in Germany's women's national team history. Her performances at club level are equally impressive, with over 100 goals to her name at Bayern Munich. However, this season found game time harder to come by.
What sets Schüller apart from other forwards is her ability to score goals from anywhere on the pitch. She thrives on confidence, and it's clear that she has all the attributes required to be a world-class striker: speed, two great feet, strong headers, and an uncanny ability in the box.
Manchester United have clearly identified these qualities in Schüller, who is reportedly excited about the prospect of playing for the team. In her first interview with MUTV, she stated that "I think this team, and the way they play football, can fit me very well" - a sentiment shared by coach Daniel Kraus.
Kraus, who coached Schüller at SGS Essen between 2016 and 2019, describes her as having everything needed to be a top striker. With her technical skills, speed, and physical strength, it's no wonder that she has consistently scored at an elite level in Germany.
The German forward's playing style is direct and focused on using her speed and headers to score goals. United, who have struggled to find the back of the net this season, seem to have found someone who can fit their high-pressing, attacking style perfectly.
Schüller will likely become a key player for Manchester United, particularly with the arrival of Fridolina Rolfö and Ella Toone in the squad. With these players providing width and passing options, Schüller is well-equipped to make an immediate impact on the team's attacking prowess.
While it remains to be seen whether Schüller will continue to produce at an elite level for several years to come, one thing is certain - she has already brought a welcome boost of confidence to Old Trafford.

I mean, 54 goals in 82 international appearances is insane! It's like they're trying to recreate the Golden Girls era all over again... but with more goals, of course. 
The question is, will she be able to bring that same magic to Old Trafford? I've got my fingers crossed...

I love how she thrives on confidence, using her speed and headers to score from anywhere on the pitch. It's a great fit for United's high-pressing style 
. The addition of Fridolina Rolfö and Ella Toone will definitely make their attacking play more exciting 
. Can't wait to see her in action at Old Trafford!

I'm excited to see how she'll fit into the team's high-pressing style and make an immediate impact. She's got all the right attributes, from speed to strong headers... let's hope she can keep delivering on that promise!

They're bringing that width and passing game which will create space for Schüller to make her mark. But what's good for one goal, is it enough?

! Their matcha lattes were insane and I'm still dreaming about them 
️. Anyway, back to Lea Schüller... I mean, can you imagine scoring goals from anywhere on the pitch? That's like having a personal goal-scoring robot 
. And I love that she's all about confidence - reminds me of when my cat, Luna, decided to "help" me with my cooking and ended up knocking over an entire bag of flour 
. Oh, and speaking of fun, have you tried those new VR gaming headsets? Mind. Blown. 
I'm so down for this high-pressing, attacking style she's bringing to Old Trafford. She's gonna bring some serious confidence boosts to that team and we can't wait to see her in action!
