Maya's professional football career is flying.
In July, the 20 year old defender left Brighton and Hove Albion for a three year deal with Manchester United and scored in her first game.
Now, she'll join the Lionesses in Spain for two friendlies against Japan and Norway this month.
Clearly, Maya will have her sights set on World Cup squad selection.
Sarina Wiegman told a news conference she's already looking at the talent she has available:
"We have about eight months to get prepared for the World Cup. What we want to see is where our young players are now.
Maya has done really well in the Under 23s. She went from Brighton to Manchester United.
This is an opportunity to give them, to show what they can do in our squad."
