'What dreams are made of' - Evie Rabjohn to join Manchester United

03.05.2023 - 11:31 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign highly-rated England youngster Evie Rabjohn from Aston Villa. Villa will not receive compensation for Rabjohn, with the defender having only turned 18 on April 28.

According to FA rules, players in the women’s game can move for free before signing a first professional contract. Rabjohn made her first top-flight start in a 5-0 thrashing of Leicester at the end of March and is an England U19 international.

The teenager will train with United's first team immediately, ahead of her formal registration with The FA for the 2023/24 season.
