Over the summer, Earps was stunned by Nike’s decision not to sell her jersey despite it being the top seller on Manchester United’s website.
She said: “I can’t sugarcoat this in any way so I won’t try, it’s very disappointing and very hurtful.”
“This is something I struggled with behind closed doors. I was desperate to find a solution with the FA and Nike.
“On a personal level it’s obviously very disappointing, especially given the last 12 months.
“So that my family, friends and loved ones can’t buy me a shirt, they’ll just go out and put on normal clothes. All my teammates have ordered a lot of T-shirts for their friends and family, they say at the dinner table, “I couldn’t get that,” and I say, “I couldn’t get that.” get it at all.”
“I know there are a lot of people who have spent a lot of money on field jerseys and then put ‘1 Earps’ on the back, which I don’t like either.
