Denise O'Sullivan could make move to Manchester United

Ireland's Denise O'Sullivan could be on the verge of moving to Women's Super League side Manchester United. The Cork native is seen as one of Ireland's best players, and her move to United would be a massive coup for the Manchester outfit.

The Ireland star currently plays with the North Carolina Courage; she has won two NWSL Championships, two Challenge Cups, and three NWSL Shields during her time there. This wouldn't be O'Sullivan's first time in the WSL; she was on loan at Brighton in 2020. O'Sullivan has also had spells with Canberra United and the Western Sydney Wanderers in Australia.

According to a report from MailOnline, "the midfielder is out of contract when the National Women’s Soccer League season ends in November and would be available on a free transfer in January. But Mail Sport understands United are expected to make a bid for O'Sullivan this summer.

"The 30-year-old, who is a lifelong United fan, has previously been offered a new contract by her current club, but it is thought she is open to the move. Mail Sport reported in December that multiple clubs across Europe were interested in O'Sullivan ahead of her contract expiring this year."

O'Sullivan has over 100 caps for the Republic of Ireland, and her potential move would give United much-needed experience in midfield. If O'Sullivan does join United, she will play alongside her Ireland teammate, Aoife Mannion.
