Ella Ann Toone (born 2 September 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Women's Super League club Manchester United and the England national team. She represented England from under-17 to under-21, scoring her first Euro goal against Spain in 2022, with another against Germany in the Euro 2022 final, helping the team to win the European Championship.
Toone started her senior career at Blackburn Rovers in 2013, later joining Manchester City and winning the WSL in 2016. Since joining United in 2018, she has become their top scorer with most appearances for the club, has been described as a household name, as well as a key player by manager Marc Skinner. In August 2023, Toone scored her first World Cup goal against Australia in the semi-final, becoming the first England footballer to score in a quarter-final, semi-final and final of a major tournament.
Personal life[]
Toone is a childhood Manchester United fan, with Cristiano Ronaldo being one of her favourite players. Since 12 years old, she has been friends with former United teammate Alessia Russo, with the pair describing themselves as "best friends". Toone is in a relationship with footballer Joe Bunney and has a YouTube channel intended to provide a glimpse into her everyday life.
In December 2023, Toone launched her own brand ET7, becoming the first England women's player to trademark her name, similar to Cristiano Ronaldo's CR7 brand, with the intention to launch her own football academy in 2024. In April 2024, Toone and Russo, in collaboration with Radio 1's Vick Hope, started the BBC Sounds podcast series "The Tooney & Russo Show", giving "an exclusive peek into the England camp like never before" and featuring "Tooney's unfiltered opinions". 90min has described her growing off-pitch profile as a journey towards becoming an "influencer footballer".
