Star Striker Alessia Russo Leaves Manchester United Over Contract Dispute, Paving Way for High-Profile Transfer

Alessia Russo, Manchester United's leading goal scorer, ended her contract with the club after failing to agree to new terms.
Russo's play helped United qualify for the Champions League and reach the FA Cup final for the first time.
Arsenal bid nearly $500,000 for Russo in January, but United rejected the offer.
Russo is likely to join Arsenal, giving their attack more depth and options for competing on multiple fronts.
Russo also has interest from clubs in the U.S. and is considering a move to the Washington Spirit or San Diego Wave.
