Breaks my heart she’s going through but my god her determination and strength is something to admire… me and my daughters are big toone fans.. she’s an incredible player and person.. she deserves all the credit she gets.. and she’s on 🔥at the moment long may it continue.. ❤
Thank you for sharing a spotlight on Women's Football on the show. Ella is proving to be a fantastic role model on and off the pitch for my daughter who aims to be just like her! Next up get yourselves to a game at Leigh or OT!
Ah I love Tooney my fave female player! ❤ I was reading her tribune post on X the other day about her dad so sad 😞 thanks for this Rio 🙏🏽 YANITED! 🔴⚪️⚫️
A bloody good interview this. While it's so incrediblely sad what Ella has gone through her mentality her toughness her determination is second to none. She's a true inspiration not just for United Women's football but football in general. Her mindset is bang on & no doubt her father is looking down being super proud. Her resilience is incredible. The perfect role model for future generations. Such a big fan of this lass
I started watching women's football on TV because the players were genuine characters in a sport that was obviously improving. I started commenting on TH-cam when I started watching in lockdown and realised there were so many negative comments. I comment on Ella's own videos and as many others as I can, to say something positive. Ella is about the easiest to say positive things about, but then I am a northerner, raised in Manningham and I lived for a few years in Salford, so she is like a kid from next door that did good. Keep doing good Ella, it does good for those watching too. Even such as Optus Sport in Australia obviously pick up on this, with a smile down under.
I had a similiar journey. But they've given me joy and something to look forward to (a truly wholesome experience) in a dark world. I thought I was going to support them, but they've supported me.
@@SimonDoverDitto, the operative word being joy. Joy unbridled. Very different to the men’s game, but in such a good way. Sport as it should be played, with fairness, inclusivity, love and mutual respect - and, of course, a lot of laughter! In the words of Nadine Kessler, “There is no bad blood in women’s football, only happiness.”
What an inspiration to girls and boys and their ground ups too! My 12 year old absolutely loves Toone and has seen her player 4 times now and everytime I love watching her face when she’s watching her! She’s not a footballer but loves the game like me so could ask for a better role model. The resilience and determination from Ella is clear as day ! Well done Ella you are making your whole family proud!! Xx
I am from Nottingham and Ella Toone has inspired me so much that one day I will be playing just like her scoring bangers and one day hopefully brings the world cup home
Nothing but love and respect for Tooney 😀 Pure class as a player, and has always been such a likable person off the field. We're so lucky to have her as United fan and player through and through, and will always be a Euros winner...and no men's team has ever been able to say that! Keep smashing it Ella!
In Ella Toone we can clearly see (heart on sleeve style) what makes a champion. The fight inside that woman is incredible. The harder the task the more she shines. Sometimes she even looks bored when things are easy. But upset her and that game is hers.
great interview, so happy to see Ella coming back stronger and wiser after a difficult period....keep that energy Tonney, you'll shine in the summer 🥰🥰
Omg I'm 53 year old scaffolder and listening to this women talking about her dad had me in tears I lost my dad and best friend 6 years ago and it's still like yesterday thank you
Serena had a genius moment recognising that Toone and Kelly are the type of players that chomp at the bit. Toone also instinctively backs up Russo, so having Russo fresh was also needed. 60 mins of a great team hammering you then Kelly, Toone and Russo come on. That will break a team.
Loved the interview, get Millie Turner on next to talk about the entire journey the United womens team has been through in a short time, she has seen it all and been a big part of it and on top of that she is wildly funny as well
Man United fans - GET BEHIND MANCHESTER UNITED WOMEN! The players do the club badge proud, United could become the biggest womens club in the world if backed by United fans! And yes, Sir Jim get it together and support the womens team, the market is big for it!

Tooney, your dad is SO proud of you! Sending you love and healing in these tough times 🙏❤️
Tooney, United's best number 7 for the last few years. Great interview!
They only baller in the club that deserves the no 7 shirt currently. Male or female!
She's so humble & such an inspiration for young girls. She's a credit to her dad and all her family ❤

Our pleasure!
An interview I don't believe will ever be topped. Big love and respect to you both. Forever united - in every sense of the word ❤
Ah I love Tooney my fave female player! ❤ I was reading her tribune post on X the other day about her dad so sad 😞 thanks for this Rio 🙏🏽 YANITED! 🔴⚪️⚫️

This was absolutely brilliant! Ella Toone is a legend, and with none other than Rio Ferdinand in the room. Bloody epic, cheers!
How can you not love everything about Ella Toone. An incredibly resilient, talented young woman. Good luck for the future, Tooney ❤
100 percent the most humble and beautiful person I think I have ever come across. It takes huge courage to come back so strong after lifes setbacks.
Toone scored a hattrick against City. First player to do so.
Proud!
Great interview, Rio… so refreshing to hear you both speak candidly about grief, friendship in sport and the club itself. Up the Reds. ❤
Thank you!
What a woman ! ❤everyone needs to watch this, puts so much perspective on women’s football, her life and how important family is

Fantastic! What a person she is. Inspirational!
In Ella Toone we can clearly see (heart on sleeve style) what makes a champion.
The fight inside that woman is incredible.
The harder the task the more she shines.
Sometimes she even looks bored when things are easy. But upset her and that game is hers.
Ella is an angel.. I thought you guys in England already knew this.
My condolences and deepest sympathy for Ella and her family. This was a great episode, Ella is a wonderful person. The best WSL player currently. ❤
Ella is absolutely gorgeous and adorable considering she's from the academy. A brilliant player and a great person

I am a big fan of the women's team. Great interview with Ella. I am happy that Tooney is a part of United...
Serena had a genius moment recognising that Toone and Kelly are the type of players that chomp at the bit.
Toone also instinctively backs up Russo, so having Russo fresh was also needed.
60 mins of a great team hammering you then Kelly, Toone and Russo come on.
That will break a team.
One of my all time United highlights was watching Tooney's rocket against Spurs ladies in the FA Cup final last season.
Ditto! Fabulous goal.
Ella Toone is a legend❤
Rest in peace to her dad ❤
She's awesome....
tooney is so inspirational ❤
You’re great at this Rio
