Mary Earps could leave England with Paris Saint-Germain reportedly intersted in signing the goalkeeper.
The 30-year-old has flourished over the past couple of years and, last month, won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
Earps fended off competition from Stuart Broad and Katarina Johnson-Thompson to reign supreme.
However, when it comes to her future at Manchester United, the shot-stopper’s situation is uncertain.

As things stand, Earps looks set to leave United on a free transfer at the end of the season.
That’s when her contract will expire, despite the Red Devils insisting they’re eager to keep hold of the veteran.
However, the Evening Standard say Earps could leave England behind with PSG now the frontrunners to secure her signature.
Earps has spoken to Arsenal, PSG and Barcelona.
But it’s the Ligue 1 giants who are leading the race.
Arsenal had an offer worth more than £100,000 turned down by United back in the summer.
However, they’ve now apparently cooled their interest in the England star.
That’s because Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall is ‘happy’ with his current goalkeepers amid strong showings from Manuela Zinsberger.
Earps would reportedly command one of the biggest salaries in women’s football following her exploits last year.
On top of being crowned SPOTY, she also won Best FIFA Goalkeeper, the Super League Golden Glove, the World Cup Golden Glove and England Player of the Year.
Chelsea are another team who have expressed an interest in signing Earps.
However, after signing two goalkeepers back in the summer, it’s unclear if they’d be able to offer the England goalkeeper regular first-team football.
Earps has, per the publication, switched talent representation agencies.
She has left Ignite Talent and signed for A&V Sports, who boast big clients such as Sam Kerr and Ada Hegerberg.
Speaking last month, meanwhile, United boss Marc Skinner said he wanted Earps to remain at Old Trafford.

“Of course, I want Mary to stay,” Skinner said.

“That’s the business side of the game and I deal with the football side.
“The club are working through with Mary on what the deal looks like.
“I sit here hopeful. I play Mary because of how good she is for us. I want Mary to stay at this club.

“I think the [talks] are exactly where it was right now but they are having conversations around it.
“It’s with the club to continue with that. I’ve been clear – I can’t be any more clear – that I want Mary to stay at this club.
“She’s a huge part of what I want to do and build here but we’ll continue to have those conversations.”
