In a strategic move, Manchester United have expanded their squad with the signing of Geyse da Silva Ferreira, a talented Brazilian striker. The 25-year-old Geyse joins United after an exceptional season at Barcelona, where she won the Spanish league, the Spanish Super Cup and the Women’s Champions League.
This latest signing adds to United’s summer acquisitions, with Gemma Evans, the Welsh international, joining the club from Reading. Although the financial aspects of Geyse’s transfer and the length of her contract have not been revealed, the club confirms this impactful addition to its squad.
Reflecting on the significant moment, Geyse expressed her joy, saying: “The day I joined United holds a special place in my heart. It’s a moment of immense joy for my family and me. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen“.
Manchester United manager Marc Skinner shared information about the new addition, highlighting Geyse’s remarkable track record. Skinner emphasized his achievements in domestic and international arenas, underlining his potent winning mentality that will undoubtedly lift the team’s dynamic, especially in the face of a rigorous campaign spanning key competitions. United’s strategic move to strengthen their attacking capacity was catalyzed by the departure of England striker Alessia Russo to Arsenal, a transition that required strengthening the team’s front-line capabilities.
The previous season, Manchester United secured a commendable second place in the Women’s Super League, trailing Chelsea by just two points. Next season will begin with an away game against Aston Villa on October 1st. The signing of Geyse underlines Manchester United’s strategic intention to strengthen their squad and intensify their competitive edge as they approach next season. The club’s ambition is evident, as it strives to build on the impressive performances of the past and tirelessly seeks to emulate their success in men’s soccer.
