Breaking News: Man Utd Women's Goalkeeper Dilemma - What's Next for Mary Earps?

Manchester United Women are exploring other options for goalkeeping due to uncertainty surrounding Mary Earps' future at the club. Contract negotiations between the player and the club have been ongoing for over a year, but there are no signs of an imminent agreement.

We previously reported that United rejected a world record bid for a goalkeeper when an unnamed club made a move for Earps earlier in the window.

United will be determined to prevent a repeat of last year's scenario, wherein key players Alessia Russo and Ona Batlle departed the club on free transfers following prolonged contract negotiations. The United squad solely features Sophie Baggaley as the lone goalkeeper who possesses WSL experience.

The WSL transfer window closes on Thursday.

Women's Super League returns to Sky in October

Several WSL teams have already commenced their pre-season training, with the return of England players to their respective squads anticipated in the coming weeks. Following this, they will subsequently come together to prepare for the upcoming Nations League.

Following the Lionesses' triumph in the European Championship last year, ticket sales in the WSL skyrocketed to record-breaking numbers. With the team's successful World Cup campaign this summer, which led them to the final, expectations are high that this will attract an even larger audience to the league.
