  "account": "Manchester United's women's manager, Eva Olid, is seeking recommendations as she prepares for her first visit to Manchester during the international break. The Spaniard took over from Marc Skinner two months ago after leaving Hearts but claims she has been too occupied with work to explore her new city. United currently enjoy a two-week break from matches while international play-offs for the World Cup occur.\n\nOlid expressed her excitement about discovering Manchester, stating that she has been consumed by work since her arrival. Her home, work, home, work routine has not left her time to sightsee. United's WSL team plays most of their home games at Leigh Sports Village, a location approximately 12 miles west of central Manchester, where they also train alongside the men at Carrington in Trafford.\n\nOlid's tenure at United has been marked by mixed results. Despite having a successful start in the Scottish Women's Premier League, she initially struggled, suffering a loss to London City Lionesses in the inaugural Women's Super League season and a 5-0 defeat against Chelsea. However, drawing with Arsenal and securing four consecutive wins in the WSL and League Cup with 18 goals scored indicate that her approach is beginning to take hold.\n\nDespite her progress, Olid acknowledges that there is still room for improvement. She highlights the need for better passing and finishing in their attacks, suggesting that these shortcomings will be addressed moving forward. Manchester United's recent visit to Liverpool saw her tactics labeled as too direct, allowing her opponents to capitalize on their defensive vulnerabilities.",
