Manchester United is actively updating its squad as important decisions approach for the summer transfer window.
With several contracts nearing expiration and recruitment plans moving forward, the club faces significant choices regarding squad depth and future strategy.
Some academy players are considering their options as new opportunities arise.
For United, it’s crucial to find a balance between promoting young talent and achieving first-team success.
One defender is approaching a critical moment in her career.
Evie Rabjohn is currently in talks about a permanent transfer from Manchester United Women, with Celtic Women showing strong interest, according to Sky Sports.
The 20-year-old defender is nearing the end of her contract at Old Trafford, and with no extension agreed yet, discussions are underway about a potential move to the Scottish Women’s Premier League.
Celtic appears to be eager to secure her on a permanent basis, offering a clearer path to regular play at a key stage in her career development.
Rabjohn has been part of Manchester United for several years and is well-regarded for her versatility and calmness on the ball.
Primarily playing as a centre-back, she can also perform as a full-back, which makes her attractive to clubs looking for emerging defensive talent.
Although she has not had many first-team chances, Rabjohn has gained valuable experience through regular training with senior players and participation in development competitions.
This exposure in a high-performance setting at a club competing near the top of the Women’s Super League has helped enhance her tactical awareness and defensive skills.
Celtic Women view Rabjohn as a player with great potential to become a regular starter, especially as they aim to strengthen their squad for both local competition and European opportunities.
A move to Celtic would allow her to face challenges in a competitive league while getting the match time that has been limited at United.
This situation reflects a wider issue in women’s football where talented young players often find that regular play is more beneficial than being a reserve on a strong first-team squad.
