United Women: 2021/22 season review
ArticleA breakdown of the Reds' inaugural campaign under head coach Marc Skinner, featuring every game from September to May.
The nomination comes off the back of another standout campaign from our no.7 in the red of United.
The midfielder was a mainstay in Marc Skinner’s side across the season, playing each and every one of our 22 WSL matches as the Reds registered a fourth-place finish.
In those games, our all-time record scorer tallied up 15 direct goal contributions, breaking down into seven goals and eight assists (no player in the league had more of the latter).
This is the latest award that Toone has been shortlisted for following her commendable term, having recently been up for the league’s PFA Vertu Motors Fans’ Player of the Year and the WSL’s Player of the Season prize.
