Manchester United eyeing RB Leipzig striker Giovanna Hoffmann
Manchester United are eyeing a new reinforcement for their attack: Giovanna Hoffmann, one of the standout names at RB Leipzig and in German women’s football. The Red Devils are pushing late in the transfer market to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
United’s Interest in Giovanna Hoffmann
The 26-year-old forward impressed with 11 goals and 5 assists in 22 matches during the 2024/25 season. She also represented Germany at the Women’s Euros, where she featured in five games and scored three goals across nine international appearances.
Hoffmann is entering the final year of her contract with Leipzig, a detail that makes her a strategic and more affordable target for United. Negotiations could accelerate in the coming weeks, as the transfer window closes in early September.
Squad Reinforcements Continue
This summer, Manchester United have already signed big names, including former Barcelona striker Fridolina Rolfö, showing a clear intent to challenge on multiple fronts. Adding Hoffmann would give the team another proven option in attack as they prepare for a demanding season.
Goals for 2025/26 Season
United’s objectives are ambitious: to compete for the Women’s Super League title, challenge reigning champions Chelsea, and battle rivals Arsenal for domestic dominance. In Europe, the Red Devils are aiming for a deeper run in the Women’s Champions League, though they must first get through two knockout rounds to secure a group stage spot.
Upcoming Fixtures
Manchester United continue their preseason preparations with a friendly against Liverpool on Wednesday (20), at 3 pm (Brasília time). The team’s official season debut will come a week later, on August 27, against PSV in the Women’s Champions League qualifiers.
