The defender’s arrival from Swedish side Hammarby IF FF was announced last week, but today is the first time Reds supporters get to see her kitted out in the 2019/20 strip.
Speaking in her first interview with club media, Okvist reveals how welcoming her new team-mates have been.
“I’m excited to be here,”
says Okvist.
“Manchester United is a special club and I think it is a good step in my career. The team and staff has been very welcoming.”
The 22-year-old is especially excited to join the Reds ahead of a maiden campaign in the Women’s Super League, which kicks off against Manchester City on Saturday 7 September.
