Man Utd agree terms to sign Swedish winger Jusu Bah
August 28, 2026 13:06
Manchester United have agreed personal terms to sign Swedish winger Monica Jusu Bah from BK Häcken. The 23-year-old is expected to finalise the transfer before next Thursday's Women's Super League transfer-window deadline.
Jusu Bah remains under contract at Häcken after signing an extension in September 2025, so United will pay a transfer fee that has not been disclosed.
KEY CONTEXT
Jusu Bah has spent her career in Sweden, coming through at Umeå and joining BK Häcken in 2023. In May she helped Häcken lift the inaugural Women's Europa Cup. Internationally, she has 11 senior caps and featured in all six of Sweden's Women's World Cup qualifying matches this year.
Manchester United have already strengthened their squad this window by signing defender Andrea Medina from Atlético Madrid and goalkeeper Janina Leitzig from Leicester City.
WHY IT MATTERS
Adding a young winger with regular international experience and recent continental club success bolsters United's attacking options ahead of the WSL transfer deadline. Because she is contracted to Häcken until 2028, the move represents a deliberate investment rather than a free acquisition.
WHAT TO WATCH NEXT
- Confirmed completion of the transfer and the timing of any official announcement.
- Disclosure of the transfer fee paid to BK Häcken (currently unknown).
- Whether United will complete at least one more signing before the window closes, as is reported.
