Earps told the PSG website: “Joining Paris St Germain is a fantastic opportunity. I’m very honoured to become a Parisian and I can’t wait to play alongside my new team-mates.
“Together, we’re going to give our all to help the club shine and make our fans proud.
“I’m determined to contribute to our future success so that Paris St Germain continues to rank among Europe’s top clubs.”
Earps, who has 50 England caps and was a member of the side that won Euro 2022, has spent the past five years at United.
She helped the club win the FA Cup last season but decided to leave at the end of the campaign after turning down the offer of a new contract.
“The club is about to undergo a period of transition, and unfortunately I don’t feel it aligns with the timing of where I’m at in my career,” Earps said in a post on Instagram recently.
“I think now is the right time to make a change and embark on a new challenge.”
