Manchester United have signed Sweden defender Anna Sandberg on an initial three-year deal.

Sandberg, who was part of the squad which finished third at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, joins from BK Hacken in Gothenburg and her contract has the option for an additional 12 months.

“I’m very happy and grateful to sign for this big club, Manchester United,” said Sandberg.

“I hope I can help our team with my qualities and deliver many winning moments for our fantastic fans.”

United boss Marc Skinner believes Sandberg’s European experience with Hacken will be of benefit.

“We are delighted to have Anna join our Manchester United family,” he said.

“She is a talented young player, who already has a wealth of international and Champions League experience. We look forward to seeing her develop further in red.”
