Manchester United have activated a one-year extension clause within Nikita Parris’ contract, keeping the English forward at the club until the end of the 2024/25 season.
Parris, who signed for the Red Devils two seasons ago from Arsenal, netted 16 goals in thirty appearances last season, including three in the Adobe Women’s FA Cup alone as Marc Skinner’s side lay their hands on silverware for the first time.
Marc Skinner told the club website that the 30-year-old forward “said to me when she first came in that she wanted to play with a fire in her belly and it was going to take time.”

The news of her contract extension follows the signing of Elisabeth Terland on Wednesday, with the club’s attacking ranks bolstered by the acquisition of the Norwegian forward on a two-year deal from Brighton.
