Great signing!
25-year old Brazilian striker has signed for United from Barcelona. Strong, fast and can finish well with both feet.
She moved to Europe in 2017, joining Real Madrid. Signed for Benfica a year later, scoring 16 goals in her first four games, six of those in a single game. Real re-signed her in 2020. Geyse scored 30 goals in 56 matches for Real.
Played last season at Barca, but failed to become a starter there. She finished the season with six goals in 24 league matches and four goals in 10 appearances in the Champions League. Second in UWCL assists overall and she recorded third highest top speed in the competition. On top of that she of course won the UWCL + Liga F double in Catalunya.
Six goals in 41 international caps is not great to be honest, for such a good team too. She came on as a sub in their 4-0 win over Panama in the WWC group opener, played the first 60 against France and made another late sub appearance against Jamaica.
The striker has also played futsal for a few years and you can see the benefits. I believe she's just under 170cm but uses her lower body strength really well. A different type of a striker to Russo but I'm confident we'll have plenty of joy with her pace up front.
A skillful and technical forward who can play on the wing as well. Barca played her as a RW a lot but I believe we have signed her to be the focal point of the attack. And as said Geyse is quite strong too, but just not the kind of a target striker Russo is. She's decent in the air with her impressive leap. Her movement is superior to Russo and she's better at pressing, in my opinion.
Welcome to United, Geyse!
