Will FA Cup win convince Mary Earps to stay? Man Utd future update after Lionesses goalkeeper lands major silverware at Wembley

The England international goalkeeper has seen <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mary-earps-man-utd-lionesses-future-transfer/blt3afb445838990545" target="_blank">serious questions asked of her future as her contract runs down</a>. There has been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/mary-earps-man-utd-lionesses-goalkeeper-wsl-psg-barcelona/bltee8668b30f0b587f" target="_blank">talk of interest from the likes of Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain</a> in the 31-year-old shot-stopper – who is a two-time winner of the Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper award.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Earps is as ambitious as any player, with a European Championship win and World Cup final appearance under her belt, and domestic cup success with United may convince her to sign a new deal. Skinner has told <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c3g9d12wn33t " target="_blank">BBC Sport</a> on that subject: “That is a decision to be made later, it is not a conversation for now. I'm sure it does help but me and Mary have a great relationship. Of course I would love her to stay. She is an FA Cup winner.”

WHAT SKINNER SAID

Ex-England star Fara Williams believes that tangible success will aid United’s efforts to get Earps to commit to fresh terms, saying: “It is so important that United now have a trophy, they have to use that now to nail down Mary Earps. She has tasted that success now and they need to keep her at the club and build the team around her. She is so vitally important. At any club now the goalkeeper position is crucial and who’s better than her?”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Earps joined United in 2019 and has taken in over 120 appearances for the club.
