Manuela Zinsberger (Austrian German: [manuˈeːla ˈtsɪnsˌbɛrɡɐ]; born 19 October 1995) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for German club Borussia Dortmund and the Austria national team.
Zinsberger grew up in the village of Niederhollabrunn in Lower Austria. She was first trained at the LAZ Stockerau and from 2009 at the AKA St. Pölten. From the 2011/12 school year she moved to the newly established National Center for Women's Football in St. Pölten.
In 2017 she was named Austrian of the Year by Die Presse in the international success category. In December 2020 at age 25, she was named Austria's Footballer of the Year by the Austria Press Agency, being the first goalkeeper to win Footballer of the Year.
In her youth, Zinsberger played for USV Leitzersdorf and SV Stockerau.
In the winter transition period 2009–10, Zinsberger switched for the first time to adult football for USVG Großrußbach in the Lower Austrian state league. She made her debut on 21 March 2010 in a game against Maria Anzbach. In the nine championship games she was able to keep five clean sheets.
In the summer of 2010, she moved to ÖFB-Frauenliga club SV Neulengbach and made her debut on 30 October 2010 (9th matchday) – shortly after her 15th birthday – in a 1–1 draw at home against FC Südburgenland.

On 26 February 2017 (matchday 13), her team won 2–1 with two goals from Vivianne Miedema, who came on as a substitute in the 60th minute. On 2 April 2019, it was announced that Zinsberger would not renew her contract and would leave the club at her own request in the summer. For the 2019–20 season, she was signed by English Premier League club Arsenal.
After moving to Arsenal WFC, Zinsberger quickly established herself as a first-choice goalkeeper and played six times in her first twelve games and conceded only 11 goals.[citation needed] On 17 November 2019, she was also part of the London derby victory between Arsenal and Chelsea, who celebrated a record crowd of 38,262 in the English Women's Super League.

In the 2019–20 UEFA Women's Champions League she played in a round of 16 game before the Covid break and in the quarter-finals after the break. The quarterfinals against Paris Saint-Germain was then lost 1–2. Third in the 2020–21 FA WSL, Arsenal had to qualify for the 2021–22 UEFA Women's Champions League via the placement route, which included wins against Oqshetpes Kokshetau (4–0), PSV Eindhoven (3–1), and Slavia Prague (3–0 and 4–0), where she was in goal three times.
