Manchester United striker Lea Schuller says the "time was right" to push herself out of her comfort zone and leave Germany after 13 years in January. The German international joined United from Bayern Munich on a deal until June 2029 and is preparing to play in her first Women's League Cup final on Sunday. But despite her experience, Schuller admits it was "tough" to leave her home country and start a new challenge in the Women's Super League. Defending champions Chelsea are in their seventh successive League Cup final, while they have beaten United in two of the last three Women's FA Cup finals. But Schuller hopes United have enough to overcome Chelsea this time around and believes there is a bright future for the club.
