Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are all said to be plotting bids for the England star in the January transfer window. Earps' contract at United will expire at the end of the season and she is yet to agree to a new deal, but she has been angered about reports speculating about a possible transfer.

"I don't know what happens currently," she told when asked about her future. "I feel I've behaved really professionally and with a lot of integrity through this whole situation. I play with heart and passion in everything I do and I drive standards. A lot of stuff that's been put out, isn't true. I want to say more but I can't at this stage and it's really hard for me to sit [and be] quiet when I see a lot of things that are not right. I think it's an injustice but I know the appropriate thing to do is focus on my football and see what happens from there."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
The 30-year-old, who was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year this week, was the subject of a record bid from Arsenal in the summer transfer window and the Gunners are reportedly still interested in her, with coach Jonas Eidevall eyeing new signings next month, though European giants PSG and Barca are also in the picture.

Earps may head into that game with another individual award to her name as she is up for 2023's FIFA The Best Women's Goalkeeper prize, which will be given out on January 15.
