‘I want to discover Manchester’ – Olid hunts recommendations
Manchester United Women manager Eva Olid celebrated her team's second consecutive victory against Liverpool and their fourth straight win, marking a significant turnaround after a difficult start to her tenure. Arriving from Hearts to replace Marc Skinner two months ago, Olid was previously unknown in English football and initially struggled, but her tactical approach is now delivering improved results.
The turnaround is notable given that United lost their opening match to London City Lionesses and suffered a 5-0 home defeat to Chelsea, before winning four consecutive games across the Women's Super League and League Cup whilst scoring 18 goals. During the international break, Olid plans to explore Manchester for the first time since arriving, having been absorbed by work, whilst acknowledging her team needs to improve their finishing and final passing to reach higher levels.

Eva Olid is the manager of Manchester United Women, having joined two months ago from Scottish side Hearts to replace Marc Skinner. She was relatively unknown in English football at the time of her appointment, which created some uncertainty about her prospects in the role.
Her early weeks proved difficult, with United losing their opening match against London City Lionesses and suffering a heavy 5-0 home defeat to Chelsea. However, the team has since recovered dramatically, winning four consecutive matches across the Women's Super League and League Cup whilst scoring 18 goals.
This turnaround demonstrates Olid's tactical approach is proving effective, though she has acknowledged her squad must improve their finishing and final passing if they are to reach higher levels. Having been wholly absorbed by her work since arriving, she has yet to properly explore Manchester beyond the training ground.
