Manchester United defender Hannah Blundell announces pregnancy

Manchester United defender Hannah Blundell has announced she is pregnant with her first child.

The club has included an option clause in her contract, which will keep her at the club for another year, giving her the right to maternity leave and medical care.

The 30-year-old, who joined from Chelsea in 2021, has been a regular starter under manager Marc Skinner.

Blundell told her teammates the news at a club meeting on Tuesday, before making it public on social media a day later.

Skinner was informed of the pregnancy early on and has therefore recruited defenders in the transfer window.
