A born-and-bred Red, Ella has been starring and scoring for United Women since our rebirth in 2018, although her national reputation ramped up during England's victorious Euro 2022 campaign. The childhood United fan is an explosive midfielder with a real eye for goal, and she is the club’s all-time leading scorer and appearance-maker, reaching 200 outings for the Reds in October 2025. Ella is a two-time European champion with the Lionesses, most notably producing a crucial quarter-final equaliser against Spain at Euro 2022 and a brilliant chip to open the scoring in the final against Germany. She also reached the World Cup final with England in 2023 and her performances that year earned her a spot in the FIFA FIFPro Women’s World 11. She starred in United’s successful run to the FA Cup final in May 2024, and she opened the scoring with a superb long-range strike against Tottenham, which later won the team’s Goal of the Season award, to go with her fans' Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year accolades for the same term, the latter shared with Maya Le Tissier. In May 2026, Toone received an MBE in a ceremony held by Prince William at Windsor Castle, for her service to football.
