Calls for Grace Clinton to break into England's starting XI for Euro 2025 will only increase after yet another impressive display in their victory over Switzerland.
"In the first half especially, she felt very comfortable and players close to her felt very comfortable - that was really good to see," said Wiegman. It has been a rapid rise for the 21-year-old, who had two successful spells on loan at Bristol City and Tottenham, before returning to United in the summer and becoming a key player under manager Marc Skinner.
"We saw a lot from her . What I like is she has got a completely different profile to what we have seen in a midfielder for many years. Former striker Ian Wright added: "Grace Clinton is more than ready for this level. I would like to see her play more."Wiegman has been criticised previously for her selection choices, often opting for experienced players and familiar starting XIs.
"The next step is to get into the squad more often and get consistency. I was really happy with her. You can really see that she's developing.Manchester United manager Skinner said in November he had no doubts Clinton would "put herself in the best possible position" for regular England selection, but was cautious not to rush her international development.
