United make staggering transfer decision on talisman as WSL season draws to a close – report

Manchester United have reportedly reached a major decision on the future of striker Elisabeth Terland ahead of the summer window. Talisman Terland has enjoyed a productive time at United since joining the club from Brighton & Hove Albion in July 2024. She parted ways with the Seagulls following the expiration of her contract, having spent two years with them. Terland bagged 49 goals for Brighton. The  24-year-old put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the option of an additional 12 months. The Norwegian enjoyed a superb debut campaign at Leigh Sports Village, netting 12 goals in 27 appearances. She was crucial as United secured Champions League football. For the second year running, Terland is United’s top goalscorer. With the campaign on the brink of ending, she boasts an impressive 15 goals in 31 matches across all competitions. But she has been sidelined since late March with an injury. According to The Athletic, United will listen to offers for Terland. Transfer decision The news outlet reveals, “Manchester United will consider selling striker Elisabeth Terland in the summer if they receive an offer that meets their valuation.” “United would prefer to recoup a fee to reinvest in the squad rather than let the player leave on a free transfer next year.” “According to sources with knowledge of the matter, who wish to remain anonymous to protect relationships, the Norway international would like to stay but the club and player have not reached an agreement over a new deal. The club feel the relationship with the player remains positive.” The report further adds that Terland rejected a new contract offer in November.
