Manchester United have announced the signing of Canadian international, Simi Awujo, on a deal running until the conclusion of the 2026/27 season.

The midfielder signs with the Red Devils over from the American Collegiate system, where she represented the University of Southern California’s USC Trojans.

The 20 year-old made her senior debut for Canada at 18 years of age, and has since made 19 appearances for her nation at a senior level. Awujo was a part of the Canada squad to reach the quarter-finals in this summer’s Paris Olympic Games.

Expressing her delight in signing for Manchester United, Awujo spoke: “To say that I’m a professional footballer for Manchester United is insane. I’m so excited for the season ahead, what the future holds here and just to be a red devil. I cannot wait to play in front of the great Manchester United fans.”

Manager Marc Skinner spoke in regards to the signing of Awujo, expressing “Simi is an exciting young talent who we are delighted has chosen to continue her football journey with us here at Manchester United. Our wonderful fans can expect a midfielder with international pedigree, who will only develop further in our competitive English game.”
