Manchester United and England 'keeper Mary Earps faces some big and risky decisions about her future following Arsenal interest
qualification. Earps won the WSL’s Golden Glove ahead of Arsenal’s Manuela Zinsberger, keeping 14 clean sheets, becoming the first WSL goalkeeper to keep 50 clean sheets across the league.European ChampionshipEarps’ contract was due to expire at the end of June and United triggered an option to extend her deal by one year. The club’s priority is to extend beyond next summer but the two parties are yet to come to an agreement.Put simply, a player either wants to sign a contract or leave.
United have boosted their ranks with the arrival of Brazil international Geyse and World Cup Golden Boot winner, Japan’s Hinata Miyazawa but Arsenal have had a strong summer of recruitment too, securing World Cup stars Cloe Lacasse of Canada, Sweden’s Amanda Ilestedt and Laia Codina, a member of Spain’s World Cup-winning side. If there are opportunities for Arsenal to strengthen, they will take them.
If Earps joined Arsenal, she would need to battle it out for the No 1 shirt with Zinsberger, unless head coach Jonas Eidevall offered assurances the starting spot was hers to lose. Austria international Zinsberger has made 63 appearances for the club since joining in 2019.If not, Earps risks reducing her game time, which could prove costly given she will want to be part of Team GB’s Olympic squad next summer.
