Why? Women's team forum exists for a reason.It is kind of trolling creating a thread for this though
Agree with this - Casey Stoney has gone with many young players like Ella Toone and Lauren James, and several semi young like Katie Zelem, Leah Galton and Jackie Groenen, and’we’re not very far off the top three in my eyes.2 experienced internationals with a winning mentality, exactly what the club needs.
That’s midfield and attack pretty well covered
I would guess he's just on the football forum and hasn't noticed where this was posted.Why? Women's team forum exists for a reason.
You that much of a muppet you’d get excited for the signing of players you’ve clearly never heard of for the men’s team?2 yanks. Must be good then?

Looked class in the World Cup last summer and maybe fancy a Manchester Derby against their international teammateAnyone know their quality? Seeing they are internationals.
Heath is very much the better player. Heath is a very pacy winger with wonderful end product, typically plays on the right wing (can she play for the men's team too?). Press is a little longer in the tooth but still a quality option. Plays across the front 3 and can finish. She was used primarily as an impact sub at the last WC. Hope this helps.Looked class in the World Cup last summer and maybe fancy a Manchester Derby against their international teammate
What is your personal take on this rumour because surely we cannot afford their salariesHeath is very much the better player.

I am not going to pretend to know the specifics of the clubs financials. From a footballing perspective I think that lot of the American women are looking to play in Europe earlier in the WC cycle. They want to challenge themselves and play in some European leagues and cups. Strictly my thoughts on this, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some US Internationals playing abroad for 2 years then coming back the WSL for a year before the WC to play with some US international teammates. Again, may be way off, but just my thoughts on it.What is your personal take on this rumour because surely we cannot afford their salaries
Sorry, didn't realise there was a separate Women's forum.Why? Women's team forum exists for a reason.
If that happened, I wouldn’t even bother watching the men’s team!Very good signings for the women’s team. Two experienced USA internationalists.
Could we get Alex Morgan too?

So basically it's because the US hasn't got it's shit together with COVID? Thanks Trump! I suppose it makes their ages less of an issue if we're only expected to see them here for one season anyway.A bit of background on why some USA players are looking for these one season deals in Europe.

City signed Rose Lavelle and Samantha Mewis a couple of weeks ago.
Calm down, petal.Neanderthals
Yes, please!Very good signings for the women’s team. Two experienced USA internationalists.

Sorry forgot white text/smiley!Calm down, petal.
Yup. Depsite age one of fittest players on the tournament, Netherlands had a younger team, but they couldn't keep up in the final with stamina and injuries.Heath looked very impressive in the World Cup last summer for the US. Based on that alone, she should be a great signing and well capable of lighting up the league.
Christen Press says hiIf that happened, I wouldn’t even bother watching the men’s team!
Christen Press should definitely be a class above Jane Ross or Sigsworth at the front. United really needs a great striker. I am not sure if Christen a this point can be a star, but nevertheless should be a great addition. The ages 31 and 32 as you noted are not exactly something to build on more than this season and maybe one more, if they dont just want to do a one year off.It would be quite a coup for United. Top players with massive experience of what it takes to win at the top level. Only Groenen really has that in the squad.
They're not the kind of player that United have gone for previously. We've more or less stuck to the principle of recruiting potential. But as with Lucy Staniforth I think this is about us maybe having an opportunity to sign them, and it's too good to miss.
At any rate, exciting news, I hope we get the deals over the line (and that we're allowed to by the FA - because I suspect we need to be allowed to revise our budget to do it).
I hadn’t even looked her up, so thank you!
It would be fantastic. And americans women playing for Man United will also open even more contacts in the future for american players to join. Its all about putting United women on the map bigtime and establish us as major force in the world! This would certainly help that cause. And totally agree that this squad is starting to look great in many aspects.It's pretty much a done deal it seems. Christen Press is genuinely one of my favourite players so I'm unbelievably excited that she's joining plus Tobin Heath is a fantastic addition to the team as well. It's awesome to see more American's playing for us, Casey Stoney is truly putting together a fantastic squad filled with talented players and great personalities.
A midtable Icelandic team got a Canadian keeper with over 100 caps on loan. Teams should be going after NWSL players hard this season.A bit of background on why some USA players are looking for these one season deals in Europe.
