Knaak is City's first signing of the January transfer window, joining on a one-and-a-half-year deal from the Swedish champions.
The 28-year-old played a key role in their 2024 title win and claimed the league's Defender of the Year award as Rosengard lost just one game in the league, conceding nine goals across the campaign.
She also netted 12 goals in the Damallsvenskan, finishing as the joint-sixth-highest scorer and was only four off top spot.

— Manchester City Women (@ManCityWomen) January 1, 2025"It was helpful for me that I already know Therese [Sjogran, Women's Director of Football]. I really trust her and her abilities, so it gives me a good feeling. The club has the highest ambitions and goals, and this also matches my own ambitions.
"I'm very proud, and I feel honoured to be part of this big club. I can't wait to get started."
Knaak's signing has bolstered Gareth Taylor's side, which is currently missing key players through injury, including captain Alex Greenwood, who had surgery last month.
