Record-Breaking Mary Earps Clinches England Women's Player of the Year Title and Golden Glove Triumph at World Cup

Mary Earps was named England's Women's Player of the Year on Tuesday, surpassing Lucy Bronze and Alex Greenwood in the voting. The 30-year-old goalkeeper had previously secured FIFA's Golden Glove award during the Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.

Earps, who made her senior debut in 2017, has accumulated 41 caps. She played a crucial role for the Lionesses during their journey to the World Cup final, where they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Spain. "I am incredibly humbled and grateful to have been honored as England Women's Player of the Year! It's a bit overwhelming, to be honest. I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those who voted for me and my amazing teammates," Earps expressed on Instagram.

Earps stays at Man Utd - but for how long?

Last month, Arsenal made a world-record offer to United for the England No 1 goalkeeper in the women's game. However, United declined the offer and will not sell, despite Earps' contract expiring next summer.

United face a daunting task in persuading her to extend her commitment with the club. What lies ahead? Can United succeed in convincing the Lionesses' goalkeeper to remain? Will she depart in January or as a free agent next summer? Is Arsenal the destination or might she opt for another interested club?
