Manchester United Target Sweden Winger Monica Jusu Bah

Manchester United are set to add serious pace and power to their forward line after 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, as United step up a late-window push to sharpen their attack.

Jusu Bah only signed an extension with Häcken in September 2025 and is under contract until 2028, so United will pay a transfer fee, though the figure remains undisclosed. The length of that deal underlines how hard the Swedish club fought to secure her future – and how determined United are to buy her out of it.

Raised in the Swedish system, she has spent her entire career in the country. She broke through at Umeå, catching the eye with her direct running and work rate, before earning a move to Häcken in 2023, where her development accelerated on the European stage.

The highlight came in May, when Jusu Bah helped Häcken lift the inaugural Women’s Europa Cup, a landmark moment for both player and club. That performance in continental competition pushed her profile up another level and reinforced her reputation as a winger built for big occasions.

Her progress has translated to the international stage. Jusu Bah has already earned 11 caps for Sweden and featured in all six of their Women’s World Cup qualifying matches this year, trusted in a campaign where every point has mattered.

Recruitment Drive

United’s recruitment drive this summer has had a clear pattern: younger players with top-level experience and room to grow. Defender Andrea Medina has arrived from Atletico Madrid, while goalkeeper Janina Leitzig has joined from Leicester City to strengthen the spine of the side.

Now comes the wide threat.

United are understood to be targeting at least one more signing before the window closes next week. With Jusu Bah on the brink of joining and more business planned, the question is no longer whether United are rebuilding – it’s how far this new-look squad can push the WSL’s established order.
