Manchester United Women’s squad have secured the services of Tobin Heath and Christen Press. Both players have established themselves in the United States of America Women’s National Team and will be great recruits for United.

The forward has two World Cup medals and two Olympics Gold in her trophy cabinet and is regarded as one of the best players of her country. Having a player of her stature will be extraordinary for Manchester United. The same was reflected in the words of Casey Stoney, the current boss of the United Women’s Team. She said, “We are all excited to have Tobin join the club; she is an outstanding player who brings a wealth of experience to the squad.”

Casey further added. “Tobin’s many accolades and trophies also show that she is a proven winner and I’m looking forward to seeing her have a real impact in the squad.”
