Quick Summary

Eva Olid, Manchester United's new women’s team manager from Spain, is looking for recommendations on how to explore Manchester during the international break. She took over two months ago but has been too busy with work and family visits to see the city yet. Olid acknowledges her team's recent success, including four consecutive victories and 18 goals scored, while emphasizing areas that still need improvement. Her counterpart at Liverpool criticizes United's tactics in their latest match, noting Manchester’s approach was overly direct and prevented Liverpool from playing well.

Story summary

Eva Olid, who took over as manager of Manchester United's women's team from Marc Skinner two months ago after leaving Hearts in Scotland, is eager to explore her new home city. Despite recently beating rivals Liverpool on Saturday and having a fortnight off due to international play-offs for the World Cup, Olid admits she has been too busy working since arriving and hasn't had time to discover Manchester. She plans to use this break to learn more about the city beyond Leigh Sports Village, where her team plays most home matches, and Carrington, the training site used by both the women's and men's teams. Despite initial challenges in her early days at United, including a tough start with losses against London City Lionesses and a 5-0 defeat to Aston Villa, Olid has since led Manchester United to success, particularly in defeating Liverpool recently.
