Bentley signs new deal prior to loan move
Manchester United is delighted to announce that Fran Bentley has signed a new two-year deal with the club, with the option of a further year.
Bentley will also join FA Women’s Championship side Bristol City on loan for the 2021/22 season.
Fran Bentley said:
“To sign a new deal at the club is always a proud moment. I have spent many years here, both in my youth career and now as part of the first team, and it has always felt like home.
"I’m grateful for the belief the coaches have had in me from the start. I’m still young and have been constantly learning and improving with the help of the staff and team. I would like to thank everyone who has supported me on my journey so far, from my family, to the team, and the fans.
“I’m looking forward to continuing my development this season whilst on loan with Bristol, they have a great group of players and staff who will be looking to get back into the WSL quickly and I’m excited to be a part of that.”

"We see great potential in Fran and we are pleased to have also secured her a loan move ahead of the new season, giving her invaluable experience and playing time to aid her development.”
