Mary Earps brutally snubbed by Marc Skinner as Man Utd boss makes striking 'best in my life' claim about PSG goalkeeper's replacement Phallon Tullis-Joyce

Lionesses star Mary Earps, who joined Manchester United in 2019, was the club's first-choice goalkeeper until the summer of 2024 when she exited Old Trafford to join Paris Saint-Germain. With Earps parting ways with the club, manager Marc Skinner decided to promote American custodian Tullis-Joyce as the team's new number one.

The Red Devils boss recently opened up about replacing Earps with the 27-year-old goalkeeper, who joined the club last summer. Skinner heaped praise on Tullis-Joyce while making the controversial claim that she is the 'best shot-stopper' the English coach has ever worked with.

Speaking to BBC, Skinner said, "Phallon is the best shot-stopper I have ever worked with in my life. She is an incredible footballer, an incredibly intelligent human and I’m really looking forward to showing you what she can do for this team. She is a big-time goalkeeper. That’s why I brought her."

United will kick off the 2024/25 season on Saturday as they take on West Ham in a Women's Super League clash at Old Trafford.
