Mary Earps is one of the biggest stars on the planet and has no shortage of interest as she enters the last six months of her contract at Manchester United.

Arsenal made a big money offer for her in the summer, while the biggest clubs in Europe have closely watched the England No 1's situation.

She's gone from the international wilderness to soon-to-be two-time FIFA Best Goalkeeper. That's in the space of just four years, all while becoming the most recognisable star during England's run to the World Cup final earlier this year.

Any contract signed either in January or in the summer will almost certainly make her the highest paid goalkeeper in the world, which is unsurprising given the popularity, commercial success and talent she brings to a club.

A player as good as Earps also deserves to be contending for the biggest trophies in the club game.
