A number of Manchester United women players have been in action for their countries over the past few days.<\/p>\n
England Lionesses kicked off their European defence as qualifying for Euro 2026 got under way.<\/p>\n
Millie Turner, Ella Toone, Mary Earps and Grace Clinton were called up for the games against Sweden and Ireland which concluded with a draw and a win for the current champions.<\/p>\n
Earps was in goal against Sweden but was unable to keep a clean sheet as Sweden found a reply to former United starlet Alessia Russo’s first half goal.<\/p>\n
Earps dropped to the bench against Ireland but United’s Ella Toone came into the side as Sarina Wiegman made five changes.<\/p>\n
It proved to be a successful move as England beat the hosts 2-0 with goals from two former Reds, Lauren James and Alex Greenwood.<\/p>\n
Aoife Mannion, who returned from injury for United recently, was on the pitch for Ireland.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, England U19’s were also in action and have secured their place in the Euro finals in Lithuania with Manchester United’s Evie Rabjohn helping them to victory.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, Lisa Naalsund helped Norway beat Finland 4-0 on home soil. She came on for ex-Red Vilde Boe Risa and produced the assist for her country\u2019s fourth and final goal, scored by Elisabeth Terland of Brighton & Hove Albion.<\/p>\n
However, they lost their second game of the campaign 0-1 to the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
Gemma Evans and Hayley Ladd partnered each other at centre-back as Wales beat Croatia 4-0 in Wrexham before following it up with a huge 6-0 victory over Kosovo last night.<\/p>\n
Academy player Mayzee Davies was also in the squad and came on as a 77th minute substitute in Kosovo.<\/p>\n
Lucia Garcia was called up for world champions Spain as they beat Belgium 7-0 before besting Czech Republic 3-1 in their next game.<\/p>\n
Outside of Europe, Geyse was also in action for Brazil in the SheBelieves Cup whilst Hinata Miyazawa came on as a sub for Japan in the same competition which was eventually won by the USA.<\/p>\n
It was a good chance to monitor the performance of a number of players linked with a move to United next summer, in particular Canada’s Julia Grosso who scored the winning penalty against Japan to progress through to the final of the SheBelieves Cup.<\/p>\n
