Manchester United have extended the expiring contract of Lionesses star Ella Toone, as well as those of Elisabeth Terland, Lisa Naalsund and Gabby George, until the summer of 2027. All four were set to become free agents in just six months' time, meaning they were also free to discuss moves with any suitors from abroad following the turn of the New Year. However, United have acted to trigger one-year clauses for the quartet, with all eyes now on if longer deals can be struck with the players.
