Ella Toone believes Manchester United are ready to upset the WSL elite and begin lifting silverware.
Toone, a star of England’s success in the European Championship, labelled the club’s ambition as ‘massive’ following a recent injection of investment.
United signed the likes of Lucia Garcia and Maya Le Tissier in the summer and the 23-year-old pointed to fresh signings as proof that Marc Skinner’s side can challenge for continental places.

Toone now wants to go on and lift silverware at club level with Manchester United
‘I was at United for seven years and there was no women’s team to look up to and then all of a sudden, they put the investment in and we had a women’s team and we’ve been growing ever since,’ Toone said.
‘You’ve seen the great talent that we’re signing now and the growth and the ambition of the club is massive. Obviously we just want to keep growing that and keep aiming high.
‘Trying to win trophies with the club is the next step. I’m really excited to be a part of it. We’ve got a lot of depth in the squad now.
‘And we’re hungrier than ever to go on and push for the Champions League spaces. Any team in this league can beat any team.’

Toone, who unveiled a new all-weather pitch at the Millennium Powerhouse in Manchester’s Moss Side with Football Beyond Borders, is set to start Sunday’s clash against Brighton at Leigh Sports Village as they look to extend their 100 per cent league record this season.
United have big occasions on the horizon in December, hosting Aston Villa at Old Trafford, with the derby at Manchester City held at the Etihad Stadium.
‘They’re always amazing games – we can get as many people as we can in the crowd,’ Toone added. ‘But we know our home is Leigh and we want to make that a fortress. We want to sell that out.’
