Manchester United’s women’s team are on the verge of completing a transfer for Mexican international Rebeca Bernal, who currently plays for Washington Spirit. The 29-year-old midfielder and centre-back would represent a significant milestone for the club and English women’s football.
Should the move materialise, Bernal would become the first Mexican player to feature in the Women’s Super League. Her versatility across defensive and midfield positions makes her an intriguing addition to manager Eva Olid’s squad for the upcoming campaign.
Building a Squad for the New Season
Manchester United have already been active in the transfer market ahead of the new season. The club has secured three new signings: defender Andrea Medina, goalkeeper Janina Leitzig, and winger Monica Jusu Bah. Bernal’s impending arrival would mark the fourth major addition to the squad as Olid shapes her team for the challenges ahead.
The recruitment drive demonstrates Manchester United’s ambition to strengthen their squad across multiple positions. With two defensive reinforcements now in place or close to completion, alongside attacking options and goalkeeper cover, the club appears to be addressing key areas before the campaign kicks off.
Bernal’s international experience with Mexico adds pedigree to the Manchester United roster, combining her established credentials at the highest level with the domestic depth already being assembled this summer.
