Ella Toone is ready for Manchester United\u2018s crucial matches against Leicester and Liverpool after launching her ET7 brand.<\/strong><\/p>\n The playmaker is the first Lioness to trademark her name and is looking to create her own football academy next year.<\/p>\n Toone, 24, has grown into a household name thanks to her exploits with England and United \u2014 and she is looking to end the year positively with her club.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Red Devils host Leicester in the Conti Cup tonight and tackle Liverpool in a Women\u2019s Super League showdown on Sunday.<\/p>\n Toone told LiveScore: \u201cThese are really important games.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to finish 2023 strongly and make sure we\u2019re ready to go in 2024.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want do well in the Conti Cup, so right now the focus is all on Leicester.<\/p>\n \u201cBut then we want to get three points against Liverpool, who have started the season really well.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know it\u2019s going to be a difficult game.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe WSL is so competitive. You can see how much stronger it\u2019s getting each year.<\/p>\n \u201cTeams can take points from anyone, so you always have to bring your best game.<\/p>\n \u201cYou can\u2019t go out thinking it\u2019s going to be an easy win because no game is easy in this league.\u201d<\/p>\n Toone\u2019s ET7 brand launch is something she has always dreamed of and hopes it can help other aspiring footballers follow in her footsteps.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted my own academy and my own brand. Growing up I loved Cristiano Ronaldo and him having the iconic CR7 brand.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was something that I thought, \u2018Maybe one day it can be ET7\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cBut I think for me, especially with the academy, it\u2019s all about giving back.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really big on grassroots football and where I came from. So hopefully in the future someone can come to my academy and go on to achieve their dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n Toone is also eager to connect with her fans in as many ways as possible, although she still finds her meteoric rise a bit surreal.<\/p>\n She added: \u201cI still can\u2019t get my head around it!<\/p>\n \u201cEspecially when people speak to me on the streets and ask for pictures. I still think, \u2018Wow, what\u2019s going on here?\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cBut it\u2019s just part and parcel of the game growing. All our fan bases are growing massively.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I want to try and connect with my fans in many different ways, it\u2019s really important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n The rise in both the popularity of players and the WSL was further evidenced last Sunday as Arsenal beat Chelsea 4-1 in front of a record crowd of 59,042.<\/p>\n Toone said: \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable for the women\u2019s game.<\/p>\n \u201cWhenever there\u2019s a record set, it\u2019s so nice to see. We\u2019ve come such a long way in such a short space of time.<\/p>\n \u201cHopefully we can continue to push those numbers up and have them consistently at games.\u201d<\/p>\nBrand launch<\/h2>\n
