Manchester United has officially announced the acquisition of Swedish midfielder Julia Zigiotti Olme from Bayern Munich on a two-year contract, with an option to extend for an additional year. This move marks a significant boost to United's midfield as they prepare for the upcoming Women's Super League season.

Zigiotti, aged 27, has been a consistent performer for the Swedish national team, which was recently defeated by England in the quarter-finals of Euro 2025. Her experience in the Women's Super League comes from a two-year stint at Brighton before she moved to the German powerhouse, Bayern Munich, in 2024.

Last season, Zigiotti celebrated significant success with Bayern, clinching both the Frauen-Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal. Reflecting on her transfer, Zigiotti expressed her enthusiasm: "I am so happy to be here and to join this family. Watching Manchester United over the past few years, I’ve been very impressed with their progress and style of play. Meeting the team has been a fantastic experience; they’ve welcomed me like family."

Manchester United is set to kick off their new season with a home game against Leicester City on Sunday, 7 September. Fans are eager to see how Zigiotti will integrate into the team and contribute to their campaign in the Women's Super League.
