Mary Earps: Goalkeeper leaves Manchester United as she prepares for PSG move

Speculation regarding Earps’ future has gone on for more than a year and she will be relieved to have the matter settled having previously said some reports had been an “injustice”.
Arsenal offered United a world record fee for a goalkeeper last season in an attempt to persuade Earps to move to London, but she will be guaranteed Champions League football at Paris St-Germain.
United’s contract extension offer matched her expectations and was more attractive than PSG’s deal – so Earps’ decision was based on football reasons.
However, it is hard to ignore the current situation at United, with criticism growing following a decision to move the women’s team from their Carrington training site to make space for the men’s team.
British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe agreed to buy a 25% stake in Manchester United this year and his Ineos Group have taken control of football operations.
Earlier this month, he said Ineos’ priorities lay in rebuilding the men’s team and that has unsettled a number of people involved with the women’s side at the club.
Losing someone of Earps’ stature and personality is the latest blow for the club as United dropped down the Women’s Super League (WSL) table last season from second to fourth.
They are already active in the transfer window, with Terland and Janssen poised to join, but United find themselves having to replace quality players yet again.

Warren Gatland: Wales coach reflects on Australia defeat in Sydney
![](https://i1.wp.com/ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_sport/2121/live/366e5bb0-3b96-11ef-ad11-c1bbd09d8fae.jpg?w=1200&resize=1200,0&ssl=1)
Head coach Warren Gatland says it is “just where we are at the moment” after Wales slumped to statistically their worst position in World Rugby’s rankings.
Wales’ new low spot of 11th means they have slipped outside the top 10 for the first time since the rankings were introduced in 2003.
The 25-16 defeat by Australia in Sydney was an eighth successive loss for Wales.
It also represented a 14th defeat in 20 games during Gatland’s second stint as head coach.
“We know where we are at the moment – we’re developing this team,” said Gatland.
“We said all along and have been up front in what we’re trying to do.
“I hope people can see some development in terms of the players and experience with what we’re trying to do towards the next World Cup.
“I understand you are going to get pressure from people talking about a losing run at the moment.
“But in that run we’ve been in games, been in front and easily could have won a few, and tonight’s the same.
“I thought there were some positives in terms of what we’re trying to do. A bit more accuracy, you get decisions which go your way and you win.
“Those are big moments we need to learn from to make sure in those tight matches, you end on the winning side.”
