Manchester United have signed France international Estelle Cascarino and Canada defender Jayde Riviere.
Riviere, who has won 36 caps for Canada and won gold with them at the 2020 Olympic Games, joins on a two-and-a-half-year deal.
Cascarino, who can play in defence or midfield, joins from Paris St-Germain on loan until the end of the season with an option to buy.
The 25-year-old has won two Division 1 titles and two French Cups.
United boss Marc Skinner said: "Estelle will add quality and versatility both in and out of possession."
He added: "We played against Estelle in the Toulouse Cup in the summer, and it was clear to see what she can add to our group."
Cascarino, formerly of Bordeaux, Paris FC and Lyon, said: "On the pitch I am a fighter and like to help the team in both attack and defence. I cannot wait to get started here in England."
Jayde Riviere made her full international debut at 16 years old
Riviere, 21, who most recently played for AFC Ann Arbor in the USL W League, said she is a "huge" United fan, calling the move a "dream come true".
"Jayde is an exciting young player who matches the long-term version of United," said Skinner.
"We have been monitoring Jayde for a long time and believe she has the attributes to become an excellent footballer."
United are second in the Women's Super League table and face Reading on Sunday.
