Overview

• Manchester City confirmed Clinton’s arrival from Manchester United, while United announced Park on a four-year deal after her medical at Carrington.
• The clubs completed separate transfers, with City understood to add a payment beyond Park’s valuation because Clinton was valued higher.
• United were reported to have accepted City’s offer reluctantly to avoid losing Clinton for free next summer after past free departures of Alessia Russo, Ona Batlle and Mary Earps.
• Clinton said on Instagram that she and United “aren’t on the same page” and called the move a chance to grow, as City director of football Therese Sjogran welcomed her fit with the team’s style.
• Both players are England internationals and Euro 2025 winners, reshaping options across the Manchester rivals ahead of the new WSL season.
