Manchester United sign Swedish international

Manchester United are delighted to announce the signing of Sweden international Ellen Wangerheim on a three year deal, which sees her at the club until June 2029.

The forward joins United from Hammarby IF, having made over 100 appearances, winning the OBOS Damallsvenskan title and Swedish Cup in 2023. United fans will recognise Wangerheim from their UEFA Women’s Champions League game against them in August, which United won 1-0 in Stockholm.  

On the international stage, Wangerheim made her debut for the Senior Sweden squad in April 2024, in a 1-1 draw with England at Wembley Stadium—a game which saw new United teammate Fridolina Rolfo get the goal for Sweden.

Ellen Wangerheim said: “I am so excited. It feels amazing to be here. It's a it's a huge club with big history. So sitting here in this shirt is a proud moment for me. It's always been my dream to move abroad and to play in another country, in Europe and in a really big football club.”

Matt Johnson, Director of Women’s Football added: “Ellen is one of Europe’s best young talents. As a dynamic, invasive and versatile forward Ellen brings variation and a natural scoring instinct to the team. Everyone at the club is excited to have her at Manchester United and the opportunity to help maximise her potential.”
