Manchester United are in talks with local rivals Manchester City over a potential move for England midfielder Jess Park.

The 23-year-old has 20 appearances for England and was part of the squad who retained their title at Euro 2025.

She has been at Manchester City for eight years, impressing in a loan spell at Everton during the 2022-23 season.

Park has become a regular for City but United are looking to strengthen their squad as they prepare for a season in the Women's Champions League main stage if they win their two-legged play-off against Brann this month.

Elsewhere, there have been reports of interest in Manchester United midfielder Grace Clinton, including from Manchester City, with a year remaining on her contract.

As it stands, there is no indication England international Clinton will leave United before Thursday's 23:00 BST transfer deadline but the club may have to consider significant offers if it remains unlikely she will sign a contract extension.

City have been weighing up options in midfield throughout the summer and have enquired about a few players in that position.
