Manchester United today announced that Ella Toone has signed a contract extension, keeping her with the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.

Toone joined United in 2018 as part of the club’s inaugural FA Women’s Championship winning side, and has gone on to become The Red Devils’ all-time leading goal scorer with 43 goals and was the first United woman to make more than a hundred appearances for the club – she now stands at 110 games played.

On the international stage, the midfielder was crowned European Champion with the Lionesses this summer, scoring the opening goal in the team’s 2-1 final victory over Germany at Wembley in front of 90,000 fans.

On extending her deal, Toone said: “I’m delighted to sign a new contract at Manchester United. The club’s ambitions really match mine and there’s nowhere better for me to learn. To play for my childhood club I support is really special and I’ll never get tired of pulling on the red shirt. To now be able to do that for even longer is a proud moment for me and my family.”

“Ella epitomises everything Manchester United stands for, and her new long-term contract reflects the club’s ambition of continued growth and success, with a role model of her quality at the centre.”

Manchester United head coach Marc Skinner was ecstatic to secure one of his most important players on a long-term deal: “Ella’s long-term commitment to Manchester United is yet more proof of the club’s continued investment in the future success of this team. Ella has always been and remains a key member of our squad on and off the field, and we are delighted she will continue to wear our famous colours with pride for years to come.”
