Le Tissier stars as Man Utd beat Crystal Palace to extend unbeaten run

Manchester United Women manager Eva Olid spoke to the media ahead of their home match against Crystal Palace in the Women’s Super League. Squad updates revealed that Scarlett Hill will be out for weeks, but no other injuries have been reported. Eva Olid praised her team’s tactical performance against Aston Villa last weekend and highlighted Swedish international Hanna Lundkvist as a player who can play in various positions.

She described Lundkvist as a versatile player who can play as a full-back, wing-back, or wide centre-back, and can also play inside or out wide. Olid explained that having players like Lundkvist gives the team flexibility and allows them to adapt to different game situations. Ahead of the match against Crystal Palace, Olid described the challenge as a competitive one, noting that Crystal Palace have been having good matches, especially their last result against Tottenham.

She expressed her hope that the match would be tactically sound and intense, and she wished everyone attending the match an enjoyable experience. Despite her side’s impressive 11-game unbeaten streak, Olid emphasized that they are still in a process and that there are areas for improvement. She stressed the importance of gaining confidence on the ball and building connections between the players.

Olid also warned her players that the longer the streak goes on, the harder it will be to maintain motivation. She urged her team to stay focused and win the next match independently of everything else, taking it week by week. Crystal Palace will kick off the match later today at 12:45 at the Progress with Unity Stadium.
