Eva Olid prepares Manchester United Women for Liverpool match

Manchester United Women manager Eva Olid is preparing her squad for an upcoming fixture against Liverpool Women. Following a recent 5-1 victory against Durham in the Players’ Cup, Olid reported that the team has no new injury concerns, though several players remain sidelined with long-term injuries.

Olid noted the challenges of a tight match schedule in the Women's Super League, stating that the team must adapt to limited preparation time between midweek and weekend fixtures. She also highlighted the positive integration of academy players, noting that six youngsters were on the pitch during the recent win against Durham.

Goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce discussed adapting to Olid’s tactical demands, which emphasize assertive ball distribution, defensive communication, and identifying free players in addition to traditional shot-stopping. Additionally, Olid addressed the recent exclusion of Ella Toone from the England national squad, noting that the club has held honest conversations with players regarding such selections.
