Women's Super League newcomers Manchester United have signed England goalkeeper Mary Earps from Wolfsburg.

Earps, capped five times by her country and included in Phil Neville's squad for this summer's World Cup, spent one season with the German champions.

The 26-year-old has also had spells with Birmingham City, Bristol Academy and Reading.

"Mary is a great addition to the team and will strengthen our goalkeeping department," said boss Casey Stoney.

Earps, who made her England debut in 2017, added: "Something special is happening at the club and I'm excited to become a part of that.

"I feel like this is the perfect place for me to reach the next level in my career."
