Manchester United Women are set to sign Tottenham Hotspur attacker Celin Bizet Ildhusøy with the forward preparing for a medical at the club.

The Red Devils started off the summer on a negative tone as they lost the experience of Mary Earps, Katie Zelem and Lucia Garcia.

New owners Ineos were also attacked for their apparent lack of focus on the women’s team as they allowed such experience to walk out the door and Sir Jim Ratcliffe admitted, controversially, in an interview that the male team were the priority at the moment.

Nonetheless, Marc Skinner’s side’s summer improved as it went on with Dominique Janssen, Elisabeth Terland, Melvine Malard, Anna Sandberg and Simi Awujo all added to the ranks.

There looks set to be a new addition to the team as the BBC now report that “Tottenham forward Celin Bizet is set for a medical at Manchester United as she closes in on a move this summer.”

“United have triggered her release clause which is believed to be around £60,000.”

The attacker was a “key” member of Robert Vilahamn’s team last season and played against United in the FA Cup final victory for the Red Devils last season at Wembley.

“Both parties hope to finalise the deal before United head to Marbella for a pre-season training camp in the next week.”

The 22 year old began her professional career at the tender age of 14 years old in the Norwegian third tier for hometown side Skedsmo.

Bizet would later join Paris Saint-Germain before signing for the Lilywhites in 2022. She scored four goals in 39 appearances for Spurs over the course of two seasons.

Despite her young age, she has already represented Norway 21 times, scoring seven times for her nation.

The Red Devils will be hoping she can, alongside her fellow new additions, help fire the club to Champions League qualification for the first time in the Women’s team’s history.
