Earps set to leave Man Utd for PSGRed Devils have capable back-up in Tullis-JoyceBut are considering move for Bayern No.1 GrohsWHAT HAPPENED?
It was revealed earlier this week that Earps will not renew her expiring contract with the Red Devils and is instead set for a move to France, to join Paris Saint-Germain. Man Utd are already eyeing up replacements, it seems, as in Germany understands that the club is interested in Grohs, who kept 14 clean sheets in 21 Bundesliga outings last season to help Bayern win the title.

Despite Man Utd not being an established title-challenger or Champions League side, the report says that Grohs would be open to the move because she has a 'personal target' to join a 'top club' in England's Women's Super League.
DID YOU KNOW?
It's a rumour that has come as a surprise to some, as Man Utd already have a fantastic goalkeeper at the club in Phallon Tullis-Joyce. The American joined last summer from Seattle Reign, where she established herself as one of the best shot-stoppers in the NWSL, but struggled for opportunities behind Earps.

Despite her obvious quality, it appears that Tullis-Joyce might struggle for minutes even when Earps leaves, if Man Utd are looking at Grohs. Whether a move will materialise, or which other candidates they assess for a summer move, we'll soon see.
