Alessia Russo set to leave Man Utd with Arsenal move touted
Alessia Russo will leave Manchester United upon the expiry of her contract at the end of the month, the Premier League club said on Friday.
The England forward joined United in 2020 and has made 59 appearances in all competitions for United, netting 26 times.
Her contributions were pivotal in United's success during the 2022-23 season, where Marc Skinner's side finished second in the Women's Super League and secured qualification for the Champions League for the first time.
"Everyone at the football club would like to thank Alessia for her service and wish her luck for the future," United said in a statement.
Russo, who won the European Championships with England last year, will likely move to Arsenal. According to British media, Arsenal had made a record bid for Russo earlier this year but were rejected by United.
