Manchester United manager Marc Skinner says Ella Toone has a 'chance' of facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League last 16 next month. The England midfielder has been out with a hip injury since late December, with a six-to-eight-week recovery timeline. She missed the recent WSL draw with Arsenal.

United have moved to strengthen their attack in Toone's absence, signing Sweden striker Ellen Wangerheim from Hammarby on a three-year deal. The 21-year-old scored 17 goals last season and previously netted against Manchester City in the Champions League. Skinner called her a 'rare find' who adds pace and unpredictability.

With United competing on four fronts, managing Toone's return is a delicate balance. Skinner stressed they won't rush her back, but her potential availability for the Atletico ties would be a major boost. Wangerheim's arrival, alongside Germany's Lea Schuller, aims to keep United's title hopes alive across all competitions.
