Marc Skinner sends emotional message to Man United's Mary Earps as she's crowned Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year

Manchester United star Mary Earps has been crowned Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year.
The 30-year-old added the award to her growing collection after coming fifth in the Ballon d’Or rankings. She recently won the Golden Glove award at the Women’s World Cup as England lost the final to Spain, having already claimed the 2022/23 Women’s Super League Golden Glove. Her incredible form stretches back to the 2022 European Championship, where the shot-stopper was again the winner of the Golden Glove award as England claimed the trophy.
Earps faced competition for the Sunday Times Sportswoman of the Year award from two-time heptathlon world champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson, seven-time Paralympic gold medallist Hannah Cockroft and England cricketer Tammy Beaumont.
After Earps won the award, United manager Marc Skinner said: “I'm really proud of her, it's not only performance but character. And I know all of the good things that are coming to Mary have been long in the working for her.
“It almost seems that each week I'm going, ‘Right, Mary’s got this, Mary’s got that’. It’s alright to win something one-off but the consistency of being up for nominations… you’re not always going to win everything but to finish the highest place a goalkeeper has finished in the Ballon d’Or.
“It is a glamorous position, in the public eye it might not seem like it, but to finish that high in a voting system just shows her consistency. I think that’s what has been the key to Mary, her consistency on and off the field has been wonderful and it's given us a consistency in our performance as well.
“The beautiful thing about it is that she actually keeps on doing it. In training, it's not about ‘I've been given this award and so on’, she takes it in
