Manchester United Women’s goalkeeper, Mary Earps, reportedly wants to leave the club due to a lack of support during her time away at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Earps claims that while she was representing England in the tournament, Arsenal Women’s team offered her access to their training ground, whereas Manchester United did not.
Earps, who joined Manchester United in 2019, expressed her disappointment with the club’s decision not to allow her to train at Carrington, their main training facility, upon her return from the World Cup. The goalkeeper believes that this lack of support from the club has hindered her development and now wishes to move on.
The 27-year-old shot-stopper had a successful World Cup campaign with England, reaching the semi-finals and finishing fourth overall. During her time in France, she received an offer from Arsenal Women’s team to use their training ground for her individual sessions. This gesture from Arsenal made Earps feel valued and supported as a player.
However, upon her return to Manchester United, Earps found that the club did not offer her the same opportunity. This disparity in treatment has left her feeling frustrated and undervalued, leading her to consider leaving the club.
Earps’ desire to leave Manchester United comes as a blow to the team, as she has been a key player for them since her arrival. Her performances have been impressive, and she has played a crucial role in the team’s success.
While Manchester United has not yet commented on Earps’ situation, it remains to be seen how the club will respond to her request to leave. It is clear that the goalkeeper feels let down by the lack of support she received during her time away at the World Cup, and she believes that a move to another club would be beneficial for her career.
As the transfer window approaches, it will be interesting to see if any clubs express interest in signing Earps. Her talent and experience make her an attractive prospect for any team in need of a reliable goalkeeper.
Ultimately, the decision lies with Manchester United, who will need to weigh the importance of retaining Earps against her desire to leave. It remains to be seen how this situation will unfold and what the future holds for Mary Earps in terms of her club career.
