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.
Manchester United's Women's Super League (WSL) opener against Chelsea ended in a 5-0 defeat, signaling a major setback for the team under new manager Eva Olid. The two-time Scottish Women's Premier League champions are struggling to find their footing in the women's game in their first season under Olid. The loss was their second in two games, the same as last season when they lost 1-0 to Arsenal and Manchester City.
Olid, who guided Hearts to their first title last season, has promised her team a brave and attacking style of play. However, United's reluctance to penetrate Chelsea's defense in wide areas highlights the gap between them and the WSL's elite. With key players like Melvine Malard, Millie Turner, and Lisa Naalsund already leaving, questions are being raised about the club's commitment to its women's team.
Despite the poor start, Olid insists that the team will learn from the mistakes and work hard to improve in the coming weeks.
