I wore every boot that he brought out.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I remember sitting at the table and drawing out Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s logo and hopefully little girls are sat at the table drawing out the ET7 logo. It\u2019s nice to try and use my platform as best as I can to inspire young girls and boys.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/15\/11\/78999451-12867979-Toone_has_launched_her_new_brand_ET7_which_she_said_was_inspired-m-31_1702639387192.jpg\" height=\"413\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/15\/11\/78999751-12867979-image-a-32_1702639395106.jpg\" height=\"413\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Toone has launched her new brand ET7 &#8211; which she said was inspired by Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s CR7<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The academy side of things is something that I hold really close to my heart. I really like giving back to the grassroots and where I started and making sure that young girls and boys have opportunities to start their journey.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I think the main aim for me is hoping that one day someone who comes to my academy goes on to make it to playing in the WSL or to achieving their dreams.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Especially someone from my area would always be nice as well. It\u2019s a small area, not a lot of things happen in Tyldesley. For me to try and be a role model and play a part in another player\u2019s journey would be really special to me.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Toone\u2019s brand launch follows the creation of her YouTube channel last year. Episodes have seen her link up with England team-mate Alessia Russo, as well as reluctantly navigating London\u2019s Underground transport system.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I always moan when I\u2019m on the tube,\u2019 Toone laughs. \u2018They [her team] know I don\u2019t like it, that\u2019s why they keep putting me on it. I\u2019ve not been [to London] for months cause I know they\u2019re gonna put me on the tube.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/15\/11\/78999459-12867979-image-a-27_1702639092587.jpg\" height=\"445\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Toone is only 24 but she is already Manchester United&#8217;s all-time leading goalscorer<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/15\/11\/78999499-12867979-image-a-28_1702639099248.jpg\" height=\"440\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>This year\u00a0she became the first England player, male or female, to score in a quarter-final, semi-final and final of a major tournament by scoring against Australia at the World Cup<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I feel like I\u2019m really connected to my audience. One of the reasons I started the YouTube channel was to make sure that I could connect with fans in a different way and really show them an insight into my life away from football as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Crowds are growing now so it\u2019s difficult to get round to everyone but we do try our best as players to interact but it\u2019s a lot more difficult now.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Toone is still only 24 but is already United\u2019s all-time record goalscorer and appearance holder. In the last England squad, only Beth Mead had more goals for the Lionesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Toone\u2019s strike against Australia in the semi-final of the World Cup meant she became the first England player, male or female, to score in a quarter-final, semi-final and final of a major tournament. But the forward rarely gets a chance to take stock of her achievements.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I don\u2019t think I ever really get a moment to think about it. Games come thick and fast and you forget to reflect on things. Having this break is nice to just reflect on everything over the year and to look back on the highs and the lows and make sure that I enjoy them and know that I\u2019m proud of myself for what I\u2019ve achieved and what I\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s difficult, we\u2019ve come off the back of losing a World Cup final and going straight into a new season again, you don\u2019t really have time to process those things. You just get on with the next thing that\u2019s in front of you.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Toone is one of several England players that has barely had a break since winning the European Championship last year. The forward would not have it any other way, but acknowledges that a two-week rest over the Christmas period will be valuable.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s been a really busy year. It feels like it\u2019s been non-stop. Obviously I love playing and I want to be training every day but I know for my body and my mind that this two-week break is really important.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019ll make sure that I have a bit of time to mentally switch off and recover really well.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I know that I have to use it in the best way that I can to really refresh to be ready to go again in the New Year.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12867979\/Manchester-United-star-Ella-Toone-Cristiano-Ronaldo-inspired-launch-brand-incredible-goal-scoring-run-England-Red-Devils-told-Sir-Alex-Ferguson.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester United star Ella Toone on how Cristiano Ronaldo inspired her to launch her own brand, her incredible goal-scoring run for England and the Red Devils&#8230; and being told off by Sir Alex Ferguson!
