Lucy Bronze admits she is returning to Manchester City with a sense of unfinished business.

Both Bronze and fellow England full-back Alex Greenwood joined the club this week after leaving Lyon at the end of their contracts.

Bronze helped City win the Women's Super League, the FA Cup and the League Cup before departing in 2017 for Lyon, where her subsequent trophy haul included three Champions League titles.

Earlier this year it was announced Lionesses boss Phil Neville would not be staying in the role beyond the end of his contract in July 2021, and then that Holland boss Sarina Wiegman will succeed him, starting work from next September.

Next year includes the delayed Tokyo Olympics, then England will compete in a rescheduled home Euros in 2022, and the next World Cup take place in 2023.

Greenwood – who like Bronze has featured for England at their last three major tournaments, all of which saw them reach the semi-finals – was at Lyon for one season, having previously captained Manchester United.

While the 27-year-old says the season in France was "probably the best year of my football career in terms of on the pitch and off the pitch", she described the decision to join City as "a no-brainer."

Greenwood said: "It's a massively ambitious club and it meets my ambitions as well. So it was a no-brainer really when it came to joining Man City."
