The Manchester United family is set to expand with the news of Fridolina Rolfo's pregnancy. The Swedish international forward, a two-time Champions League winner and one of the women's team's star players, shared the exciting news with her teammates and coaching staff at the Carrington training ground.
Similar to Diana Silva's announcement to the Benfica squad recently, the number 12 gathered the entire group to make her revelation. The 32-year-old player humorously explained the reason behind her lighter training regimen in recent times.
"I just wanted to gather the whole group, coaching staff and players, to tell you something. It's been hard to lie for so long, but I think you probably already know what I'm going to say... Always lying around in the gym, lifting 10 kilos, bending over and doing nothing [laughs]. And I saw Simi and Emma working hard, looking at me and asking themselves: 'what is she doing?'" she began to explain.
"But I'm super happy, and yesterday I was at the hospital and received very positive news... I'm pregnant! It's crazy, and thank you all very much," Rolfo revealed to the squad.
On social media, she disclosed that she and her husband, Simon Skott, are expecting the birth in March.
The announcement coincides with the return to training of Celin Bizet Donnum. The Norwegian player, also a fan favorite, had announced her own pregnancy in late 2025, giving birth to a boy in June.
