Manchester United’s Aoife Mannion made her international debut on Wednesday in a friendly fixture against China after changing her allegiance from England to Ireland.
In a goalless tie against AFC Women’s Asian Cup winners in Marbella, Mannion was involved in Vera Pauw’s starting XI as part of the five-player backline in her first time in green.
She told Sky Sports: “It's been such a special day for me and to be honest it's only now that the game’s over that I’m letting it settle in a little bit. It's probably only now that I feel a little bit overwhelmed by how special the day has been.
