What Manchester United could do next after Alessia Russo departure
16.06.2023 - 13:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Alessia Russo has decided to part ways with Manchester United, she issued an open letter to the fans declaring her love for all the support she has received in a red shirt, but now she must move on.
It has been an invigorating story throughout the season with top teams closing in on the Lioness talent. It seemed Russo could have her pick among NWSL’s Washington Spirit in America, French giants Lyon and an unnamed Spanish team who are all prepared to offer the United player a fair bid to move overseas.
Her agent has met with Arsenal in the past few weeks having been a target for the Gunners’ attempt to bolster their attacking ranks last season. But the Manchester giants declined to accept a record-breaking bid, exceeding the estimated $400,000 paid for Kiera Walsh’s move to Barcelona, in the January transfer window.
It looks like the north London club are close to finally snatching the number nine from United’s grasp - despite finishing higher than the Gunners in the Women’s Super League this year.
The 24-year-old refused to recommit to the Reds before the home Euros kicked off and since then, she’s let her contract run out after failed months of renegotiations. Now, Russo is free to move on.
How will Marc Skinner’s squad compete in the top domestic league, Vitality Women’s FA Cup, Continental Tyres Cup and the Champions League next year without his starting number nine?
United will have to call in their existing resources, the likes of speedy Canadian Adriana Leon who is currently out on loan with NWSL’s Portland Thorns - her lightning pace was not utilised at all under Skinner. There’s also Kirsty Hansen who had a phenomenal season out on loan with Aston Villa - both will immediately help bolster the attacking front.
