Manchester United Women’s new head coach, Eva Olid, has officially outlined her tactical vision as the team prepares for their Women’s Super League (WSL) season opener against London City Lionesses. In her first pre-match press conference since joining the club in early August, the Spanish manager emphasized a commitment to proactive, offensive football.
Olid explained that her primary objective is to dictate play and create scoring opportunities. “My vision is always attacking football. I always focus the game plan on how we can hurt the teams we play against,” she noted. While acknowledging the importance of defensive discipline and focus, she maintained that the team’s core mentality must remain aggressive. She aims to implement a style that prioritizes ball possession and high-intensity attacking patterns, noting that while the transition from previous tactical setups is ongoing, she has focused on urgent principles to ensure the squad is competitive immediately.
Addressing potential skepticism regarding the rapid changes under her leadership, Olid expressed confidence in the club’s internal support. “It’s not something you achieve in a few weeks, but I believe that, with a little time, you can achieve things that initially look impossible,” she stated. She also confirmed that the club is already looking toward the January transfer window to further refine the squad, specifically targeting players who align with her tactical model rather than making rushed signings.
Regarding the upcoming clash with London City Lionesses, Olid recognized the quality of their opponents, who have been active in the transfer market. She remains focused on her own team’s execution, stating, “We have to think about how we are going to hurt them and win the match. That is our mentality.”
