Two games, two defeats - are Olid's Man Utd in trouble?

Two games into the season under new manager Eva Olid, Manchester United look a shadow of the side from last season.

Two games, two defeats - are Olid's Man Utd in trouble?

Manchester United suffered a 5-0 defeat against Chelsea in the Women's Super League (WSL) on Sunday, marking their second consecutive loss in the new season. The club's 2-1 defeat by London City Lionesses last week further highlights the significant gap between them and the WSL's elite. Eva Olid, the new manager, took charge a week ago and has been criticized for the team's lackluster performance.

Both shots for United failed to find the net, with the first from Elisabeth Terland and the second from substitute Lea Schuller blocked at the edge of the box. Chelsea dominated possession, showcasing speed and precision, while United struggled to create chances. New signings and lack of experience have been a concern for the team.

Despite the setback, Olid insists that the team has time to adapt and improve, emphasizing the importance of learning from the mistakes. The upcoming matches against Arsenal, West Ham, Liverpool, and Manchester City will be crucial in determining whether or not Olid's vision will bear fruit.
