Manchester United boss Olid expecting tactical battle against Crystal Palace

Manchester United head coach Eva Olid anticipates a tactical clash against Crystal Palace's Jo Potter in their upcoming Barclays Women’s Super League match at Leigh Sports Village. The teams will face each other for the first time since both were head coaches in Hearts and Rangers' Scottish Women’s Premier League. Olid emphasizes that the match promises to be competitive, noting that Crystal Palace's recent performances have been strong, including a penalty win against Tottenham.

She recalls their past encounter, expressing respect for Potter's competitive spirit and her team's hard work. The Manchester United boss believes that the opposition will be keen to end their 11-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, which she sees as additional motivation for Crystal Palace. Despite a challenging start, Manchester United has found a rhythm under Olid, who stresses the importance of developing confidence and connection in their play.

However, she acknowledges that there is still room for improvement as they continue to progress. The Barclays Women’s Super League game between Manchester United and Crystal Palace is scheduled to start at 12:45 pm.
