Manchester United Signs Sweden Winger Monica Jusu Bah

Manchester United have moved to sharpen their attacking edge, agreeing terms to sign Sweden winger Monica Jusu Bah from BK Häcken.

The 23-year-old is expected to complete the move before next Thursday’s Women’s Super League transfer deadline, with only the final formalities standing between her and a switch to England.

United will pay a fee to Häcken, though the figure remains undisclosed. Jusu Bah only signed an extension with the Swedish club in September 2025 and is under contract until 2028, so prising her away has not come cheap.

She has spent her entire career in Sweden, breaking through at Umeå before earning her move to Häcken in 2023. Her rise has been steady, then suddenly sharp.

In May, she helped Häcken lift the inaugural Women’s Europa Cup, adding a European trophy to an already eye-catching résumé.

On the international stage, Jusu Bah has become a regular option for Sweden. She has 11 caps and has featured in all six of their Women’s World Cup qualifying matches this year, underlining her status as a trusted part of the national set-up.

United are not done yet. The club are understood to be pushing to add at least one more signing before the window closes next week, as they try to keep pace with the WSL’s leading pack.

Jusu Bah joins a recruitment drive that has already brought defender Andrea Medina from Atletico Madrid and goalkeeper Janina Leitzig from Leicester City.

The picture is clear: United are reshaping, and they are doing it with intent.
