Rebeca Bernal transfer to Manchester United

Overview

Mexican defender Rebeca Bernal has officially transferred from the Washington Spirit of the NWSL to Manchester United in the English Women’s Super League, signing a contract that runs until June 2029.

At 29 years old, the center-back and captain of the Mexico Women’s National Team will wear the number 16 jersey. Her move is a historic milestone, as she becomes the first Mexican player to compete in the Women’s Super League and the first player developed in Liga MX Femenil to move to European football. The transfer is reportedly valued at approximately £300,000.

Manchester United’s women’s football director, Matt Johnson, praised Bernal for her “leadership, quality, and winning mentality.” Bernal brings extensive experience to the English side, having played over 250 matches and secured four titles during her tenure with Rayadas de Monterrey. She is expected to be available for the season opener against London City Lionesses on September 4, 2026, playing under the direction of Spanish coach Eva Olid.
