Manchester United goalkeeper Mary Earps admits it's a 'hard place to be' as Alessia Russo's friend following confirmation she will leave the club this summer, but says she will support her whatever she does.
The forward released a heartfelt message to supporters on Friday, following the announcement she would not be signing a new contract. Speculation continues to grow surrounding Russo's next club, but widespread reports suggest she could be bound for Women's Super League rivals Arsenal.
Russo was the subject of two world-record bids from the Gunners in January, but United rebuffed any approach for the England international in hope of persuading her to stay. However, contract negotiations were to little avail and she will instead depart at the end of the month.
