Manchester United Women face difficult start under Eva Olid
Manchester United Women have faced a challenging start to their Women's Super League campaign under new head coach Eva Olid. The team has recorded two consecutive defeats, losing 2-1 to London City Lionesses and 5-0 to Chelsea.
Following a summer of significant squad restructuring, which saw the departures of players such as Hannah Blundell, Leah Galton, and Millie Turner, Olid has worked to integrate new signings including Rebeca Bernal and Janina Leitzig. The club is also navigating a period of transition after the departure of former manager Marc Skinner.
Addressing the poor results, Olid stated that the beginning of the season does not define the team's long-term trajectory. She noted that the squad is learning from these difficult moments to build momentum and growth for the remainder of the season.
