New Manchester United star signing Christen Press admits six months without football has left her feeling 'crazy and competitive' as she prepares for life in English football.

Press joined United along with compatriot Tobin Heath and is excited about the prospect of competing in the Women's Super League.

"I have been away from football - at least in a team environment with a coach and team-mates - for six months. That's the longest stretch of my life," she said.

"So what an opportunity to play and compete. I have missed competition so much over the past six months - so I'm a little crazy and a little bit competitive right now."

The double World Cup winner is also looking forward to igniting a not-so-friendly rivalry with USA teammates Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewes who have moved to the other side of Manchester.

"It's really fun that they are going to be in the same city. Hopefully when it's safe, we'll be able to see them and spend time with them," she added. "But we are also in a rat race to compete and help our teams as best we can."
