Manchester United Women have pulled off a major coup with the signing of Dutch international Dominique Janssen. The experienced defender brings a wealth of winning pedigree and leadership to the Red Devils’ backline.
Janssen, known for her rock-solid defending and calm presence on the pitch, has enjoyed a trophy-laden career.
After a successful stint with Arsenal in the FA Women’s Super League, where she lifted the league title alongside the FA Cup and League Cup, she moved to German giants VfL Wolfsburg.
In Germany, she continued her trophy haul, adding two Frauen Bundesliga titles and three DFB-Pokal wins to her impressive collection.
On the international stage, Janssen has been a mainstay for the Netherlands, playing a key role in their 2017 European Championship triumph.
There could be several reasons behind Janssen’s move to Manchester United. Perhaps she craved a new challenge after dominating in Germany.
Manchester United, a club on the rise in the Women’s Super League, offers a chance to be part of a team pushing for trophies and Champions League glory. Additionally, a reunion with a former coach or familiar teammates can’t be ruled out.
This transfer is a win-win for both parties. Janssen injects experience and winning mentality into a young and talented Manchester United squad.
Her leadership and organizational skills will solidify their defense, making them a force to be reckoned with. For Janssen, the move presents an exciting opportunity to prove herself in a top league once again.
Manchester United fans can expect a composed and reliable leader at the back. Janssen’s ability to read the game, win aerial duels, and distribute the ball effectively will be a major asset.
With her experience and winning spirit, she’s sure to become a pillar in the Red Devils’ defense for years to come.
