VIDEO: Man Utd Women pre-season media day hijacked by 'Carrington cat' as Lionesses star Ella Toone admits she's not a fan of Red Devils' four-legged friend

Ahead of the new Women's Super League season, which gets underway next month, United held a pre-season media day - but one feline stole the show. During Lionesses star Toone's interview, the 'Carrington cat' walked into shot - prompting the 24-year-old to reveal her unflattering feelings about moggies in general.

When the animal walked by Toone, the midfielder said on Sky Sports: "I am not a cat lover," before United team-mate Gabby George - who was also conducting an interview nearby - exclaimed, "Oh, it's the cat! Carrington's cat."

Toone's United team finished fifth in the WSL last season, in what was a difficult campaign, but they lifted the FA Cup for the first time. She and her team-mates will hope to mount a challenge for the league title this season.

Toone, who has just been named United's new vice-captain, will hope the Red Devils can start the 2024-25 season with a bang when they face West Ham at home on September 21 before rounding off the month away to Everton eight days later.
