The Manchester United player, in an interview with Women’s Health magazine, spoke about the row when Nike did not release a replica goalkeeper shirt

‘A few years ago, I feel like I pledged to myself that I was always going to try to be my authentic self, come hell or high water, whether it goes really well or really badly. Just try and just be yourself.’

The Manchester United player, in an interview with Women’s Health magazine, spoke about the row when Nike did not release a replica goalkeeper shirt after England were finalists in the 2023 World Cup.

After criticism, the company issued a shirt which quickly sold out. ‘It wasn’t about me,’ she said. 

‘It was about the message being sent to kids especially but [also] to people who have a huge passion and interest in goalkeeping. I felt they were being shunned.’

She also told of her hope that misogynistic attitudes will change. ‘Sport is a vehicle for change but it’s also a representation of society,’ she said. 

‘But I don’t think having a more… aggressive response helps our cause. That’s the irony of the whole situation.’

The full interview can be read in the March issue of Women’s Health UK, on sale now.
