Celin Bizet Ildhusøy, an attacker for Tottenham Hotspur, is expected to join with Manchester United Women if he becomes ready for a team physical.
The loss of Mary Earps, Katie Zelem, and Lucia Garcia sent the Red Devils’ summer off to a bad start.
In addition, the new owners Ineos came under fire for seemingly not caring about the women’s team, letting players with such experience go, and Sir Jim Ratcliffe controversially acknowledged in an interview that the men’s team was now the first priority.
Nevertheless, with the addition of Dominique Janssen, Elisabeth Terland, Melvine Malard, Anna Sandberg, and Simi Awujo to the team, Marc Skinner’s team’s summer progressed.
The BBC currently reports that “Tottenham forward Celin Bizet is set for a medical at Manchester United as she closes in on a move this summer,” suggesting that there may be a new player joining the squad.
“United has activated her release clause, with an estimated value of £60,000.”
The forward participated in the Red Devils’ FA Cup win at Wembley last season versus United and was a “key” element of Robert Vilahamn’s squad.
“All sides intend to complete the agreement before United departs for a preseason training camp in Marbella the following week.”
The 22-year-old started her professional career in the Norwegian third division at the early age of 14 while playing for her hometown team, Skedsmo.
Bizet signed a contract with the Lilywhites in 2022, however he would subsequently sign for Paris Saint-Germain. Over the course of two seasons, she made 39 appearances for Spurs and scored four goals.
She has already played for Norway 21 times, scoring seven goals, despite her young age.
For the first time in the Women’s team’s existence, the Red Devils will be hoping she and the other newcomers can propel the squad to Champions League qualifying.
