Manchester United Women star Ella Toone has married her long-term partner Joe Bunney. The wedding provides a warm summer highlight for the club during a busy off-season.
The club confirmed the news earlier this week. The 26-year-old England international shared beautiful images from the ceremony on her social media channels. It tops off a landmark 12 months for the forward on and off the pitch.
According to a report by the Leigh Journal, the couple tied the knot at Colshaw Hall in Cheshire. Toone’s close friend Alessia Russo acted as maid of honour.
A strong contingent of Lionesses also attended the celebrations. Guests included Mary Earps, Lauren Hemp, Keira Walsh, Lucy Bronze, Beth Mead, and Georgia Stanway. Millie Turner, Katie Zelem, and Jess Park also joined the party.
A Foundational Face of the Club
This beautiful ceremony is not a tactical football story. However, it arrives at a significant moment for the women’s team. Club officials recently turned their focus toward future stars. We published an exclusive update just yesterday on Layla Drury’s first professional contract. While youth progresses, Toone remains the central face of Marc Skinner’s senior squad.
Bunney, 32, possesses plenty of footballing pedigree himself. The defender previously turned out for Bolton Wanderers, Rochdale, and Northampton Town. He now works in coaching alongside non-league commitments.
Meanwhile, Toone has built an immense profile as a figurehead for both United and England. Her romantic news naturally generated widespread attention far beyond club football.
Protecting the Core Identity
The festive timing gives United a positive off-pitch narrative. The squad will report back for grueling pre-season training shortly. Toone’s incredible influence and tight connection with supporters remain vital. Her presence helps the hierarchy frame the club’s next steps.
The players deserve this valuable time to rest and celebrate. Soon, the focus will shift back to domestic ambitions and chasing silverware. For now, the entire United community sends their warmest congratulations to the happy couple.
