<\/p>\n

Manchester United Women are leading the race to sign North Carolina Courage midfielder Denise O’Sullivan.<\/p>\n

The side are coming off the back of a disappointing league season where they will likely finish in fifth place and are currently 17 points off the top of the table.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, tomorrow brings an immense opportunity as the Red Devils take on Tottenham Hotspur in the final of the FA Cup.<\/p>\n

The tie provides Marc Skinner’s side the chance to win their first piece of major silverware in the club’s short history, since being reformed in 2018.<\/p>\n

However plans for the summer have already started in earnest according to The Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his pre-match press conference, Skinner alluded to the fact and claimed<\/a> that “there are things that we’ll learn from this season that I already know the answers to, that we can fix in the summer. I have no doubt about that.”<\/p>\n

The paper reports that perhaps the club have already found one solution.<\/p>\n

“Manchester United are leading the race to sign Republic of Ireland international Denise O\u2019Sullivan from North Carolina Courage,” The Mail claims.<\/p>\n

“The midfielder is out of contract when the National Women\u2019s Soccer League season ends in November and would be available on a free transfer in January.”<\/p>\n

“But Mail Sport understands United are expected to make a bid for O\u2019Sullivan this summer.”<\/p>\n

The transfer will likely be of huge interest to the experienced midfielder as she is reportedly “a lifelong United fan” and is open to a move.<\/p>\n

The 30 year old has won 109 caps for the Republic of Ireland and would add a huge amount of experience to United’s midfield.<\/p>\n

She would also add a winning mentality as at the Courage, she has won two NWSL Championships, two Challenge Cups and three NWSL Shields.<\/p>\n

Described<\/a> as “midfield maestro”, she would be an inexpensive shrewd signing as United aim to qualify for the lucrative Champions League next season.<\/p>\n
