The young striker from Hammarby will join a large group of players from northern Europe. She will meet Fridolina Rolfö and Hanna Lundkvist, among others.
- Wangerheim signed a three-year contract keeping her at United atleast until June 2029.
- She joined United from Hammarby IF, where she made over 100 appearances and won the OBOS Damallsvenskan title and Swedish Cup in 2023. She also took part with them in Champions League last season.
