    Following breaking news on Friday that Norway Football Federation had posted the registered transfer of Vilde Bøe Risa to Manchester United, the club have today made an official announcement confirming the latest signing for the Women’s team. 

    At 26-years-old, the Norwegian international will bring much experience and leadership to United having played Champions League football with her previous clubs, alongside making 37 caps for her country, featuring in the squad that reached the quarter-finals of the 2019 Women’s World Cup.

    Bøe Risa is a lifelong fan of United and has been waiting for a move to the club, turning down offers from the likes of Lyon. Further details outlining exactly what this exciting talent can bring to the United Women’s team has been outlined in a previous article.

    Speaking to MUTV about the move, Bøe Risa said, “I’m happy to be here, at such a big club that I have grown up supporting. Manchester United is huge in Norway so to be able to come here and play for the team now is a dream come true.” 

    “I am really looking forward to playing in the WSL and I want to help the team as much as I can in qualifying for the Champions League. I’m also excited to get to know my new team-mates and, of course, I hope I can see the fans in the stadium soon too.”

    Football director, John Murtough, also shared his thoughts on the latest signing, “We’re delighted to welcome Vilde to the club, she has all the qualities required to be a Manchester United player and we know she can have a great impact here. She reads the game so well and is a fantastic playmaker with great vision and link-up play.”

    “Vilde brings leadership skills from her time in Sweden, along with Champions League experience, which is something the club is striving for. She is just one of a number of key signings we are making this summer as we look to build on last season with the women’s team.”
