United officially announce the signing of Jusu Bah for nearly £400,000

Manchester United have completed the signing of Swedish winger Monica Jusu Bah from BK Hacken for a fee close to £400,000. The 23-year-old Swede has signed a four-year contract and becomes the third Red Devils signing before the closure of the Women's Super League transfer window on Thursday. Internal sources at Manchester United confirm they had to compete with other clubs to secure her services.

A high-profile signing

Jusu Bah, who had a contract until 2028 with BK Hacken, immediately praised her transfer. "It's an incredible feeling to join Manchester United," she said. "There's a real cohesion in the squad, and you can feel everyone's enthusiasm for the season ahead. The opportunity to work with Eva Olid is perfect. Everyone knows the quality of her coaching and her ability to help players reach their highest level." "I'm ready to keep pushing myself, to help the team achieve our ambitions together, and to create unforgettable memories at this incredible club." The Swede, who has spent her entire career in Sweden, notably shone at Umeå before joining BK Hacken in 2023. Last May, she contributed to her club's victory in the final of the first edition of the Women's Europa Cup.

An already well-established international career

With 11 caps for the Swedish national team, Jusu Bah has featured in all six World Cup qualifying matches this year. Her technical profile and experience in European competition impressed Manchester United's executives, who hope to further strengthen the squad before the end of the transfer window. "It is understood that United are hoping to add at least one more player by next week," the BBC reports. The Red Devils have already completed two other signings with defender Andrea Medina, arriving from Atlético Madrid, and goalkeeper Janina Leitzig, recruited from Leicester City. This arrival aligns with the club's ambition to strengthen its women's team, in line with the ambitions set by the club's leadership. Manchester United is banking on this signing to boost their attack and aim for the top spots in the Women's Super League.
