Manchester United fell 5-0 to Chelsea in their Women's Super League match on Sunday at Leigh. The result follows a 2-1 defeat to London City Lionesses in the season opener, leaving the team with zero points from two matches. Under new manager Eva Olid, the club struggled to generate offense, managing only two shots during the contest. The squad is undergoing a transition toward a youth-focused model following the departure of several key players, including Melvine Malard, Millie Turner, and Lisa Naalsund, during the summer. Olid previously guided Hearts to a Scottish Women's Premier League title but faces early scrutiny following this start to the season. The director of football operations, Ameesh Manek, observed the performance from the stands.
