Mary Earps to depart Manchester United amid PSG links

admin admin | 06-30 00:15

Manchester United have confirmed that England goalkeeper Mary Earps will leave the club following the expiry of her contract.

It is the second significant departure in as many days after captain Katie Zelem's exit was announced on Friday.

Earps, 31, has been widely linked with a move to Paris St Germain.

The Euro 2022 winner joined United in 2019 and made 125 appearances for the club. During the 2022-23 WSL season, Earps kept 14 clean sheets to set a new league record, and a few months later she was fifth in the voting for the Ballon d'Or, the highest a goalkeeper had ever finished.

Last season, Earps was in the United side that beat Tottenham 4-0 at Wembley in the Women's FA Cup Final, securing the club's first major trophy.

A club statement said: "Everyone at Manchester United would like to thank Mary for her fine service and wish her the best of luck in the next stage of her career."

United boss Marc Skinner has work to do in reshaping his squad this summer, with striker Lucia Garcia also leaving.

Robert de Pauw is heading for the Women's Super League

Meanwhile Republic of Ireland defeder Anna Patten has a new club boss after Aston Villa appointed Dutchman Robert de Pauw as their manager.

Former Bayer Leverkusen and FC Twente boss De Pauw, 42, has signed a three-year deal with the option of a further year and replaces Carla Ward, who stepped down from the role last month.

De Pauw, who has also worked with the Dutch FA as a youth coach, spent the last two years at Leverkusen having led FC Twente to the Dutch league and cup double in 2022.
