Manchester United close in on Sweden international Jusu Bah
Manchester United have reached an agreement with BK Hacken for winger Monica Jusu Bah, who is set to join before the Women's Super League transfer deadline. The 23-year-old, who has 11 Sweden caps, helped Hacken win the inaugural Women's Europa Cup. United will pay an undisclosed fee for the player, who is under contract until 2028.
Jusu Bah has spent her entire professional career in Swedish football, emerging through Umea's youth system before transferring to BK Hacken in 2023. Her move to Manchester United marks her first venture outside her home country. She contributed to Hacken's triumph in the inaugural Women's Europa Cup earlier this year and featured in every one of Sweden's six World Cup qualifying fixtures during 2025.
United have been active in the January window, having already secured defender Andrea Medina from Atletico Madrid and goalkeeper Janina Leitzig from Leicester City. The club reportedly intends to pursue further reinforcements before the Women's Super League deadline, with Jusu Bah's arrival representing a significant addition to their attacking options.
This transfer could signal growing competitiveness in the Women's Super League, as clubs invest more heavily in international talent. For young female footballers, it may demonstrate that standout performances in smaller European leagues can lead to opportunities at major clubs. The move could also raise the profile of Swedish women's football and inspire greater viewership of the WSL, potentially benefiting the sport's commercial growth and accessibility to wider audiences.
