Manchester United have made a major signing, bringing in goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce from OL Reign. The 21-year-old American is the latest addition to the Red Devils’ squad, and is expected to provide a boost to the team’s goalkeeping options.
Tullis-Joyce has been a standout performer for OL Reign since joining the club in 2018. She has made over 50 appearances for the club, and was part of the team that won the NWSL Shield in 2019. Her impressive performances earned her a call-up to the US Women’s National Team, and she has since gone on to make five appearances for her country.
The move to Manchester United is a big step up for Tullis-Joyce, and she will be looking to make an immediate impact. She will be competing with current first-choice goalkeeper Mary Earps for the starting spot, and will be hoping to establish herself as the club’s number one.
The signing of Tullis-Joyce is a statement of intent from Manchester United, who are looking to build on their impressive start to the season. They currently sit second in the Women’s Super League, and are looking to challenge for the title this season. The addition of Tullis-Joyce should help them in their quest for silverware.
It remains to be seen how Tullis-Joyce will fare at Manchester United, but she is certainly an exciting prospect. She has already proven herself at the highest level, and if she can replicate her form at her new club then she could become one of the best goalkeepers in the world.
