Manchester United have signed Canada international midfielder Simi Awujo on a contract through to the end of the 2026/27 season.

The 20-year-old, who has 19 caps for her country, joins from the University of Southern California’s USC Trojans.

Simi Awujo said: “To say that I’m a professional footballer for Manchester United is insane. I’m so excited for the season ahead, what the future holds here and just to be a red devil. I cannot wait to play in front of the great Manchester United fans.”

Head coach Marc Skinner added: “Simi is an exciting young talent who we are delighted has chosen to continue her football journey with us here at Manchester United. Our wonderful fans can expect a midfielder with international pedigree, who will only develop further in our competitive English game.”
