While Manchester United Women have reaped the rewards of their summer transfer business, one of their key signings is facing frustration on the international stage. Swedish star Fridolina Rolfo has been a standout for the Red Devils, delivering clutch performances like her Champions League winner against PSG. However, her season has taken a disappointing turn with her national team.

Rolfo was notably absent from Sweden's lineup in their recent 2-1 World Cup qualifying defeat to Denmark. Her playing time under new manager Tony Gustavsson has been minimal, with her last appearance being a brief 16-minute substitute cameo back in March. This lack of involvement has left the experienced winger, a veteran of over 100 caps, visibly frustrated.

In comments reported by Mundo Deportivo, Rolfo did not hold back her feelings. "Of course I’m very disappointed, I’m not happy because I always want to play," she stated. Emphasizing her desire to contribute, she added, "The only thing I can say is that I want to play at all costs and prove that I deserve to play."

This situation creates a stark contrast for Rolfo. At the club level, she has overcome injury setbacks to become a vital part of United's core, evidenced by playing full 90-minute shifts in their crucial Champions League quarter-final ties against Bayern Munich. Yet, for Sweden, she finds herself fighting to regain her place. As Sweden prepares to face Serbia, all eyes will be on whether Gustavsson grants the determined forward the opportunity to add to her impressive tally of 33 international goals and reignite her role for her country.
