Manchester United sign former Rangers midfielder Watson | OneFootball

Manchester United have completed the signing of former Rangers midfielder Emma Watson on a free transfer.

FAWSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Red Devils this afternoon.

Watson joins Manchester United after leaving former club Rangers at the end of last season. The player had long been linked with a move to the Leigh Sports Village therefore this afternoon’s news comes as no surprise.

The youngster has come through the Rangers youth ranks before going on to star for the team at SWPL1 level. Watson has also had experience of playing for The Gers in the UEFA Women’s Champions League last season, something which could benefit new club Manchester United in 2023/2024.

After joining Manchester United, Watson said “I’m absolutely delighted to sign for Manchester United. It’s a huge club with a lot of history and I cannot wait to get started. I’m really excited to learn and to play alongside some great players. I’ll give everything to this team and I’m looking forward to pulling on the red jersey.”

Watson becomes Manchester United head coach Marc Skinner’s third signing of the summer transfer window following the recent additions of defender Gemma Evans and forward Geyse.
