Earps is on the back of winning the Golden Glove at the World Cup and last season’s Women’s Super League campaign, as well as being named The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper in 2022.
She finished as a runner-up at the World Cup representing the Lionesses, along with fellow Reds Ella Toone and Katie Zelem, and was a standout performer for her nation from the first game to the final, in which she saved a penalty.
Earps’ success with her nation
The 30-year-old reigned victorious with England at the Euros last summer, in the Women’s Finalissima in April and in the Arnold Clark Cup in February – certainly a year to remember for the shot-stopper.
Nottingham-born Earps is a role model for young, aspiring footballers on and off the pitch, and United are incredibly lucky to have her.
