Manchester United have announced the signing of Sweden midfielder Julia Zigiotti Olme from Bayern Munich on a two-year contract, with the option of a further year.
Zigiotti, 27, was an ever-present for a Sweden side beaten by England in the quarter-finals of Euro 2025.
She has already experienced the Women's Super League after enjoying a two-year spell at Brighton before joining German giants Bayern in 2024.
Zigiotti, who tasted success in Bavaria last season after winning the Frauen-Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, said: "I am so happy to be here and so happy to get started and to join this family.
"I have been watching Manchester United in the last couple of years and having seen what they have been doing, I am very impressed.
"They are a team that fits me and my style, meeting the players has been great. They were like a family and it was a fantastic way to start."
Manchester United will host Leicester City in their opening match of the new Women's Super League season on Sunday, 7 September.
