Manchester United could be preparing to make a landmark signing in women’s football, with Mexican international Rebeca Bernal reportedly close to joining from Washington Spirit.

The defender and midfielder has emerged as one of Mexico’s leading players and has established herself at both club and national-team level. The report says talks between Manchester United and Washington Spirit have advanced in recent days as the English club seeks to strengthen its squad for the new season.

An announcement could come within hours, according to The Cutback, a publication specializing in the British transfer market. If the move goes through, Bernal would become the first Mexican woman to represent Manchester United.

Bernal built her reputation at Rayadas, where she played from the beginning of the Liga MX Femenil era. She debuted in 2017, became captain and won four league titles with the Monterrey club. She moved abroad in 2025 to join Washington Spirit, despite having a contract there through 2027.
