Grace Clinton embracing the pressure back at United after breakthrough year
England midfielder determined to blossom this season when she will finally make her WSL debut for the Old Trafford club two years after signing
A week ago Grace Clinton was at the Manchester Opera House collecting one of the game’s most prestigious awards, next week she’ll be in Marbella training with Manchester United, and this week she’s being chased by a stream of enthusiastic children in Macclesfield as she tries to dribble away from them with a huge inflatable football. It’s all part of life now for the England midfielder after her breakthrough campaign last season.
The 21-year-old was named as the Professional Footballers’ Association’s young player of the year after bursting – unlike that giant inflatable, thankfully – on to the scene with Tottenham while on loan last term. Now that she has returned to Manchester United, the club she signed for in 2022, after two successful loans, she is embracing everything coming her way.
