Manchester United Women

Angel City have announced the signing of Zelem on a free transfer. The former United captain has signed a contract until 2026, as she looks to embark on a new chapter. The 28-year-old has been capped 12 times by England and is a former captain of United.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Zelem previously played for Liverpool and Juventus before her move to United. She is a two-time WSL champion, with Liverpool, and also won Serie A with Juve. She helped guide United to promotion to the WSL, and was part of the Lionesses squad that reached the final of the Women's World Cup in 2023.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Angel City General Manager Angela Hucles Mangano said: "Katie Zelem is a wonderful addition to our squad at the perfect time. She has honed leadership skills at high levels as the captain of Manchester United, is a skilled midfielder with an elite-level football acumen, and her desire to bring championships to LA was palpable upon first communication. We are excited to welcome her.”

WHAT ANGEL CITY SAID

Angel City play Juarez in the NWSL on August 19. It remains to be seen if Zelem will be able to make her debut in that game.
