Speculation over Alessia Russo ’s future has been launched into a new stratosphere after the forward’s announcement that she will not pen a new contract with Manchester United.
The Euro 2022 winner’s current contract at United is set to expire at the end of this month and Russo took to social media on Friday morning to release an open letter to fans stating that her time at Leigh Sports Village has reached its bittersweet conclusion. The 24-year-old refrained from commenting on where exactly her services will be employed next season.
The 2022/23 season was a record-breaking campaign for Russo, who scored 13 goals in all competitions including 10 in the league to clinch qualification for the Champions League and a memorable runners-up finish behind reigning champions Chelsea.
