Jackie joined United in 2019 and made her debut that same season in the Manchester derby, in front of 31,000 fans at the Etihad Stadium. The Dutch international went on to make a further 59 appearances as a Red.

“I’ve had such a great time representing this wonderful football club,” said Jackie.

The 27-year-old has made 92 appearances for Netherlands, scoring nine goals.

"I'm a box-to-box player. My passing is good, but I also make tackles. I think I'm a good blend of attacking and defending," she told the PSG website.
