A new head coach, a new fan zone, and a transfer market on hold? Ed and Wayne talk about United’s new Women’s team coach, Eva Olid, who has joined after Marc Skinner's exit. What is Skinner’s legacy after 5 years at the club? He achieved Champions League qualification and won the FA Cup, despite restrictions on the club’s budget. And yet, there won’t be too many tears shed for a manager who rubbed a lot of players and fans up the wrong way with his personality.
Olid arrives on a deal to June 2028, fresh from a first-ever SWPL title at Hearts last season. Her record with young players inside a small budget is a strong coaching profile but it also sounds like a job description written by United’s finance department.
Then on to the club’s relationship with fans. The new Paddock fan zone welcomes 1,300 fans just behind the Stretford End for the coming season. Is this cynical profiteering by the club or an attempt to boost the match day atmosphere? At a time when the club feels like it’s a war with fans, there’s been a mixed reaction.
Finally, the transfer market, in which United appear to be moving very slowly. Youri Tilemans was announced three weeks ago now. Are there any more to come?
