Manchester United Women have been active in the 2026 summer transfer window, making strategic moves to bolster their squad for the upcoming WSL season. With the team currently sitting 4th in the FA WSL with 40 points from 22 games (11W-7D-4L), recent form LDDLW, and a +16 goal difference, the Red Devils are looking to close the 15-point gap to league leaders Manchester City W.
Who has joined Manchester United Women this summer?
The club has made several key signings to strengthen their squad. Among the notable arrivals is midfielder Sophie Ingle, who joins from Arsenal on a two-year deal. Ingle, a Wales international, brings experience and leadership to the midfield. Additionally, striker Khadija Shaw has extended her loan from Manchester City, providing a proven goal threat up front.
Who has left the club?
Manchester United Women have also seen some departures this window. Defender Jane Ross has moved to Brighton & Hove Albion, while midfielder Katie Zelem has joined Liverpool. These exits have created opportunities for younger players to step up and make an impact.
What does this mean for the upcoming season?
With the new signings and the current squad's performance, Manchester United Women are well-positioned to challenge for a top-three finish. The club's goal difference of +16 and 38 goals scored this season indicate a strong attacking unit. However, with 22 goals conceded, defensive solidity will be key in the title race.
The transfer window remains open until the end of August, and fans can expect more activity as the club looks to fine-tune their squad for the challenges ahead.
