Now I can get flowing into the season. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;The main thing for me was getting on to the pitch, making those connections with the girls and getting stuck in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I really enjoyed it out there and I am really happy with my debut.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">When Clinton switched Manchester clubs just hours before the transfer window closed, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/graceclinton_x\/p\/DOMKyPRDSp7\/?hl=en\" class=\"ssrcss-k8mrr8-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">stated on Instagram, external<\/a> that she and United &#8220;weren&#8217;t on the same page&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;She looked happy when she came on and looked like she enjoyed the game,&#8221; said Chelsea goalkeeper Becky Spencer, who played with Clinton at Spurs during her loan spell during the 2023-24 campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Clinton undoubtedly adds further depth to a stacked squad of players at new City manager Andree Jeglertz&#8217;s disposal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;m so happy for her because she has been working very good since she&#8217;s been with the team and deserved to get minutes,&#8221; said the Swede.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Grace is a great player with the ball, she is working on finding the ball in different spaces and engaging the backline. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;But she is also working very hard to fit into the group and the team, and how we play &#8211; that will take some time for her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;She wanted to be on the ball, she&#8217;s playing with a lot of confidence so I&#8217;m happy for her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;It feels amazing,&#8221; said the Liverpool-born midfielder afterwards. &#8220;It takes the pressure off a little bit.
