Manchester United are no closer to agreeing a new contract with goalkeeper Mary Earps as the club face a race against time to negotiate a new deal before next week\u2019s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n
Arsenal have had two bids, understood to be higher than the \u00a3100,000 record fee for a goalkeeper, rejected by United – who remain adamant Earps is not for sale.<\/p>\n
The England No 1 was out of contract in June but United triggered an option to extend her deal by a year.<\/p>\n
The club have made extending her stay at the club a priority but Mail Sport understands no progress has been made.<\/p>\n
United still believe they can convince Earps to commit her future to the club but the goalkeeper remains reluctant to put pen to paper.<\/p>\n

Manchester United are no closer to agreeing a new contract with goalkeeper Mary Earps\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Lionesses star was sensational during her side’s World Cup final loss to Spain last month<\/p>\n
Earps has always been tight-lipped on her situation but admitted in May that her future was \u2018a little bit uncertain\u2019.<\/p>\n
The goalkeeper was part of the United squad that travelled to Germany for a pre-season fixture with Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n
But Earps and the rest of her England team-mates who played at the World Cup – Ella Toone and Katie Zelem – did not feature in Wednesday\u2019s match, which United lost 3-2.<\/p>\n
Mail Sport understands United want to sign OL Reign goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce, who could serve as a potential replacement for Earps, but have not yet been able to agree a fee with the American club.<\/p>\n
The club’s stance remains Earps is going nowhere, regardless of who may come in.<\/p>\n
