  "account": "Manchester United Women midfielder Ella Toone has been hailed as an absolute honour in being named in the esteemed 2026 FIFPRO Women’s World 11. Toone, who is the club’s all-time appearance maker with 223 matches and has scored 66 goals for Manchester United, has faced adversity during her 2025-2026 season. This includes the loss of her father and an injury that kept her out of action for several weeks, missing United’s Champions League and FA Cup matches. Despite these challenges, Toone led England to Euro 2022 victory and scored a goal in the final against Germany. She has been nominated for the FIFPRO 11 for the fourth year in a row, recognizing her outstanding performances for both Manchester United and the England national team. Toone, who voted by her fellow players between August 4 and August 16, 2026, expressed her gratitude, stating that being named alongside some of the best players in the world is an absolute honour. Alessia Russo and Alex Greenwood were also included in the eleven.",
