Eva Olid has taken charge of her debut game in the Women's Super League on Friday when Manchester United travel to London City Lionesses for the season opener. The Spaniard has a track record of success with her from her time at Hearts, where she guided the team to their first Scottish league title last season. According to Olid, her ambition is to play attacking football and focus on exploiting weaknesses in opposing teams.
Manchester United are moving in a new direction, focusing on developing young players and building an attacking football identity. Olid has been reunited with her former assistant coach Gavin Beith and has already hinted about recruitment plans in January that suit her attacking style. The new manager has been described by sources at the club as "football obsessed" and believes her ruthless work ethic will set a good example to young players breaking through.
Manchester United will face London City Lionesses in their season opener on Friday at 19:00 BST.
