Club career

May joined the Manchester United youth setup at under-10 level, progressing through the age groups. She was part of the club's development team that competed in the WSL Academy Cup in the 2018–19 season, losing out to Arsenal in the final.[1] The following season, May saw frequent playing time as the club entered a full-time under-21 team to compete in the FA WSL Academy League for the first time.[2][3] In January 2020, May featured in a senior matchday squad for the first time as an unused substitute in the League Cup semi-final defeat to Chelsea.[4] Four days later, on 2 February 2020, May made her senior debut as an 85th minute substitute, replacing Jane Ross in a 1–1 FA WSL draw away to Reading.[5]

International career

May has been capped by England at under-17 level. On 21 March 2019, she scored her first goal in an 8–0 UEFA U17 qualifying win over Georgia.[6] In May 2019, May was named to the squad traveling to Bulgaria to contest the 2019 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship.[7] May made two appearances as the team finished level on points with Germany and Netherlands but were eliminated at the group stage on a head-to-head goal difference tiebreaker. In March 2020, May was called up to the under-19 squad for the first time to compete in the La Managa tournament.[8]

gollark: *Seriously*?
gollark: Hmm, fun idea: I should actually be able to automatically make the assembler know about instructions given the information available in the definitions used by my machine code interpreter.
gollark: It's been known to, I mean. Not known to optimize bswap. Just known to.
