Leah Galton to Leave Manchester United Women After Eight Years

The move underscores her role in taking United Women from start-up to contenders.

Overview

  • Manchester United said Galton will depart this summer when her contract ends after eight seasons with the team.
  • She joined the inaugural professional squad in 2018 as one of three remaining originals with Ella Toone and Millie Turner.
  • Galton made 171 appearances and scored 44 goals, ranking second in club history, and she leads United’s WSL scoring with 35.
  • Her tenure spanned promotion to the top division, the 2024 Women’s FA Cup triumph, and the club’s first Champions League group stage.
  • A back injury has curtailed her 2026 minutes, though she is training and hopes to play before season’s end, and no next destination has been announced.
