Lionesses star Ella Toone sends out emotional message after being named Man Utd Women's Player of the Year for second consecutive season

<p>The accolade, decided by fans, saw Toone fend off strong challenges from goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce and defender Maya Le Tissier, who finished second and third respectively in the voting. Her performances throughout the campaign have been instrumental in helping the Reds secure a spot in next season’s Champions League and reach the FA Cup final once more.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>While Toone celebrated the recognition, her acceptance was accompanied by a deeply moving message reflecting on a year filled with personal hardship. In September, she lost her father, Nick, just days before what would have been his 60th birthday. Remarkably, Toone returned to action for United just two weeks after her father’s passing, featuring in the team’s opening league fixture at Old Trafford against West Ham — a testament to her resilience and unwavering dedication.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Toone wrote on X: "Thank you for sticking with me in the hardest time of my life. I know the big man will be proud of the way I’ve dealt with things this season and how I’ve managed to navigate through football and life without him. It will never be easy but I know he will always be with me..."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you for sticking with me in the hardest time of my life.

WHAT TOONE SAID

<p>Toone has had an impressive FA Cup campaign as she found the net against West Brom, Wolves and Sunderland, helping United book a third consecutive final appearance. She will be aiming to add to her tally and lift another silverware when the Red Devils face Chelsea in the final at Wembley this Sunday.</p>
