Manchester United win the race to sign highly-rated Aston Villa teenager Evie Rabjohn... with a permanent deal set to be completed when England U19 star returns from international duty

Manchester United have won the race to sign highly rated England U19 defender Evie Rabjohn from Aston Villa.

Sportsmail revealed United had made an official approach for the 17-year-old last week and the youngster has opted to make the move to the Red Devils.

The deal will be completed when Rabjohn returns from international duty with the U19 squad.

The defender made her first Women’s Super League start in Villa’s 5-0 victory over Leicester at the end of March.

Villa will not receive compensation due to Rabjohn not turning 18 until April 28.
