Millie
Turner

Turner operates as either a centre-back or a holding midfielder and her range of passing helps contribute to the side's attacking moves. She joined the Reds from Bristol City, where she was made captain just six months after signing. The defender had previously played for Everton and has been capped by England at youth level. A key member of Casey Stoney’s Championship title-winning side, Turner was also the first Red to reach a half-century of appearances for the club, missing just one competitive game out of 77 across United's first three seasons. Millie would miss the majority of the 2021/22 campaign however, suffering a knee injury in just our second fixture of the WSL season away to Leicester. Despite returning just before the turn of the year, the defender's season would be over five appearances (and five clean sheets) later, due to an issue with the artery in her neck. Turner made her comeback on the opening day of the following season, and slotted back into the heart of the defence like she'd never left, helping United to register five WSL shutouts in a row at the start of the campaign. The defender went on to enjoy memorable moments on trips to north London later in the term, scoring a brilliant equaliser in the late win at Arsenal, before becoming the third United Women player to reach 100 appearances, after Ella Toone and Katie Zelem, during the 2-1 victory at Tottenham.
