"I think it's a dream come true again and I really enjoy being here. It was really a no-brainer for me.

"It's unreal to be in Melwood, the facilities are so good and we have everything we need to perform on the pitch as well. I think that's great.

"I enjoy living in the city. I think it's really nice that everything is so close and we also have the water nearby. I enjoy my time here."

Lundgaard has made 31 competitive appearances for the Reds since arriving from Fortuna Hjorring in January 2023.

The 22-year-old is counting down the days to the new season, which begins at home to Leicester City this weekend, having returned to full fitness after her bright 2023-24 campaign was cut short due to injury.

She continued: "Last season I think the team did so well. So when Beardy gave me the chance to go in and perform, I think it was not really that hard because everyone was at the top performance level.

"The injury came in a really bad time for me – I mean an injury never comes in a good time – but especially [in] that period of time I was in good form and I really enjoyed playing again.

"I think I really have a motivation now to do well and come back into the team. I think I've had a good pre-season, so I'm just really excited to get started on Sunday."
