Let’s take a closer look at Ella’s 200 appearances, broken down by competition. The majority of her matches for United have come in league play, with a total of 145 appearances. This includes all 20 fixtures from the Championship-winning season and 125 matches in the Barclays Women’s Super League over her six-plus seasons with the team.
Remarkably, Tooney set a record in the WSL for the longest consecutive games played by an outfielder in the league’s history. Her impressive streak of 96 matches was cut short last year due to a calf injury, just four games shy of reaching 100.
She holds cherished memories from both domestic cup competitions as well. Her club debut against Liverpool marked the start of a 26-match journey in the League Cup, while she has participated in 21 FA Cup matches, including the victorious final in 2024, alongside two other less fortunate appearances in the prestigious event at Wembley.
Last Thursday, she celebrated her eighth match in the Champions League for United, and with the team now advancing to the main phase of the tournament for the first time this season, she is poised to add to that total in the coming months. This stage guarantees four more matches, including the highly anticipated clash against Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford in November.
