Manchester United struggles with tactics under Eva Olid in WSL
Summary

Manchester United currently sits with one draw in three Women's Super League matches under coach Eva Olid. The team opened the season with a 2-1 loss to London City Lionesses and a significant 5-0 defeat to Chelsea. Recent tactical adjustments led to a 1-1 draw against Arsenal, although questions remain about the team's ability to implement high-possession attacking football that Olid promised. A successful 10-1 victory in the League Cup against Sheffield United suggests potential progress despite earlier setbacks.
