Manchester United are set to sign the Norway striker Elisabeth Terland from Brighton. The 23-year-old was the joint second-highest scorer in the Women’s Super League last season and her 13 league goals, equalling one every 137 minutes she played, constituted half Brighton’s tally for the entire WSL campaign.

She is understood to have agreed a two-year deal plus a further year’s option with United and she will be their third signing of this summer’s transfer window, following the ­­Netherlands defender Dominique Janssen and the France forward Melvine Malard from Wolfsburg and Lyon, respectively.
