I like proving the doubters wrong, says England's Blindkilde Brown Image source, Getty Images Image caption, Laura Blindkilde Brown has played 1266 minutes in the WSL this season By Emma Sanders Sport women’s football news reporter Published 34 minutes ago England midfielder Laura Blindkilde Brown says she "likes proving people wrong" after becoming a regular starter at Manchester City this season. The 22-year-old revealed there were "doubts" by City boss Andree Jeglertz at the start of the campaign and the club had contemplated sending her out on loan. However, injuries in midfield meant Blindkilde Brown had an opportunity - and she took it, starting 16 of their 19 Women's Super League matches this season.

Her impressive performances have helped City build a nine-point lead at the top of the WSL table and they are closing in on a first league title in 10 years. "Maybe at the start of the season had his doubts. I hadn't been a regular in a top club before and I'm still a young player," said Blindkilde Brown.

"I think we've proven that we like to play football so that's ultimately outweighed anything else. I've shown that I can play in the City team, and we're top of the league at the moment.

'I definitely feel more confident' Blindkilde Brown joined City for £200,000 from Aston Villa in 2024 where she made 58 appearances in the WSL as a teenager. The midfielder has gone on to make four appearances for England but faces stiff competition in Sarina Wiegman's squad. But with injuries this month, can she force her way into Wiegman's plans for Tuesday's Women's World Cup qualifier against Spain at Wembley?

"There's world class players here and the midfield is really strong so I knew I'd have to be patient," said Blindkilde Brown. "I just take whatever comes really. Being around a lot of the City girls who are also here is really helpful as well.

This makes me feel very comfortable. "The standard at City is pretty similar to the standard here. Ultimately, how I play at City is why I get picked for being here.
