2018–19
[edit]In July 2018, Toone joined Manchester United for their inaugural season in the FA Women's Championship for the 2018–19 season, one of seven players to return to the senior side having played for the club at youth level.[14] She made her competitive debut for Manchester United, as a half-time substitute for Mollie Green, in a 1–0 League Cup victory against Liverpool on 19 August.[15] On 9 September, she scored her first senior goal, on her league debut, in United's opening game of the 2018–19 season, a 12–0 win away to Aston Villa.[16] She was voted FA Women's Championship player of the month for February 2019, having scored five goals in United's two league games, with four of them scored against Leicester City on 13 February.[17][18] By 24 March 2019, she had scored 7 consecutive goals in league matches, breaking the club record for most consecutive goals scored by an individual player, later equalled by Jessica Sigsworth.
2019–20
[edit]In the 2019–20 season, Toone scored five goals in a League Cup group stage game as United beat Leicester City 11–1 on 21 November 2019, equalling the club record set by Sigsworth the previous season,[19] as well as setting the record for most hat-tricks for the club with her second hat-trick.
2020–21
[edit]Ahead of the 2020–21 season, Toone signed a new two-year contract with an option for a third.[20] Toone finished the season as United's top goal scorer, with ten goals in all competitions, as well as five assists.
2021–22

In the 2021–22 season, Toone became joint top assist provider alongside Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema, providing 8 assists, as well as scoring 7 goals.[21] On 20 November 2021, it was announced that Toone had signed a new contract until June 2025.[22] She became WSL Player of the Month in December, playing every minute of Manchester United's WSL games that month.[23] A fan favourite, Toone was awarded club Player of the Year for the season with 35% of the vote, as the first player to reach 100 appearances for the club, as well as nominated PFA Young Player of the Year, the award was later won by Lauren Hemp.[24]
2022–23
[edit]On 10 November 2022, Toone signed a further contract extension until June 2026.[25] In the 2022–23 season, Toone provided 8 assists and scored 3 goals, helping United to finish second place in the WSL, and qualifying for the Champions League second round for the first time in the club's history.[26] In February 2023, Toone had a red card and three-match ban overturned, after being sent off for pushing Tottenham's Eveliina Summanen.[27] Summanen was later charged with simulation and deceiving officials over the incident by the FA, and given a two-match ban.[28][29]
2023–24
[edit]I always want to contribute goals and assists, it's what I pride myself on as a No.10. It was quite difficult having a few games without them but I just had to make sure I was not putting too much pressure on myself to force things. I always set myself targets [before a season] but this term I've learned I can't think about them too much.
