Manchester United manager Eva Olid prepares for Friday's opening WSL match away to London City Lionesses. This contest marks the start of the campaign following a summer of transition at the club, including the departure of long-serving manager Marc Skinner. While United completed four signings during the transfer window, London City Lionesses added several high-profile players to their roster. Olid emphasized her commitment to an attacking, brave style of football despite acknowledging the risks and the challenge of implementing changes within a short timeframe. New signing Rebeca Bernal is available for selection, and the club does not intend to pursue further transfers before the window closes. United finished the previous season in fourth place, trailing the European qualifying positions by nine points.
