Elisabeth Terland interview: 'I want to win with this team'
Manchester United striker speaks exclusively to The Cutback about her love for the club and what the future holds
When you think of goals and Manchester United, there’s only one player that comes to mind.
Elisabeth Terland has topped the team’s scoring charts for the last two seasons, since her arrival from Brighton in the summer of 2024, and quickly become an integral part of United’s attacking line.
Now, having just completed an international window with Norway, Terland is facing a summer of potential change, as reports indicate the 24-year-old could be leaving United in the coming months.
Terland’s contract was initially due to expire at the end of this season, but in January United triggered an option and extended it to the summer of 2027.
It’s not surprising that clubs would have their eye on the striker, as she’s been one of the most consistent No 9s in the WSL in recent years.
Terland made the move to England from Norwegian side Brann in 2022 at the age of 20. She knew it was the right time to move, with Brighton being the first destination. “I felt ready when I moved and I think that showed in my performance and my ability to adapt to the league, I was ready”, she tells The Cutback, speaking from Norway’s most recent international camp.
In her two seasons on the south coast, Terland scored 20 goals in 39 WSL games. Also picking up the Brighton player of the season award for the 2023-24 season.
Those performances caught the eye of United, who secured her signature in June 2024. Making the move from Brighton was the “perfect” choice, with United needing a centre forward with league experience.
