Eva Olid: 'I made something impossible possible'

Manchester United appointed Eva Olid as their new manager ahead of their opening Women's Super League (WSL) game. The club has made significant changes this summer, with four new signings despite several players departing. Olid, who replaces longtime manager Marc Skinner, acknowledged the doubts surrounding the team this season but emphasized her belief in their ability to achieve the impossible.

She promised an attacking style of play and focused on exploiting opponents' weaknesses. United's first match will see them aiming to play attractive football and be brave, despite the risks involved. Rebeca Bernal, one of the new signings from Washington Spirit, is expected to be fit for the opening game. Last season, United finished fourth in the WSL, nine points shy of a European qualifying spot.
