The three are the only remaining \u201coriginals\u201d from that crop of players.<\/p>\n<p>She has been a key player for United, amassing 172 appearances. She could add to this tally if she features in the final game of the season against Chelsea this weekend. Galton\u2019s 172 appearances place her among United\u2019s top three all-time appearance-makers.<\/p>\n<p>Galton has won 109 of these games, drawn 25 and lost 38. She started in 136 and came on as a substitute in the remaining 36 fixtures.<\/p>\n<p>Only Toone (212) and Turner (189) have lined up more for United than Galton.<\/p>\n<p>The 31-year-old has netted 44 goals for the Reds. Only Toone (64) has found the back of the net on more occasions. Galton is one of only three players to reach double digits in a single top-flight season for United.<\/p>\n<p>She achieved this in the 2022\/23 season, when she plundered 10 goals. The others are Alessia Russo (also 10 in 2022\/23) and Elisabeth Terland (in 2024\/25).<\/p>\n<p>Galton spoke to club media and gave her verdict on these numbers.<\/p>\n<h3>Galton\u2019s remarks<\/h3>\n<p>She said of the 2022\/23 campaign, \u201cI don\u2019t usually go off stats and numbers and stuff like that, but it felt like a flying season for me personally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s just because of stats, but it was more because it felt like I found my feet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a jump from maybe going from four or five goals to 10. I just felt like I understood what I was doing and how to play football essentially.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s got to be one of my favourite seasons since I\u2019ve been here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Galton\u2019s eight-year spell at United has yielded the FA Women\u2019s Championship (2018\/19) and the Women\u2019s FA Cup (2023\/24).<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>The Peoples Person has been one of the world\u2019s leading Man United news sites for over a decade.
