Manchester United Sink PSG 2-1 on Mary EarpsOld Trafford Return

The mixed reception followed weeks of criticism over revelations in her new book.

Overview

  • Melvine Malard put United ahead and Fridolina Rolfo headed the winner after Olga Carmona’s long‑range equaliser for PSG.
  • Fans cheered Earps during the warm-up before boos greeted some early touches once the match began, reflecting divided feelings.
  • United made it three wins from three in the Women’s Champions League league phase as PSG stayed winless after three games, with pressure growing on coach Paulo Cesar.
  • Earps’ homecoming came after backlash to her autobiography’s criticisms of England manager Sarina Wiegman and goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, which she has defended as context rather than an attack.
  • United manager Marc Skinner praised Earps as a “good person” and said he was not involved in her past contract talks, as 14,667 attended the club’s first women’s European game at Old Trafford.
