Eva Olid has been officially confirmed as Man Utd Women's new head coach

Manchester United Women took to action for the first time under Eva Olid on Saturday afternoon in a 1-1 draw against Leicester City. 

Having gone 1-0 down, Elisabeth Terland netted an equaliser with three minutes left to play to level the game and become the first player to score under the new boss. 

The behind-closed-doors match consisted of two 40-minute halves, where United had "patient build-up play and a high-pressing style". 

Manchester United Women will travel to Spain on Friday 14 August for a six-day training camp, where they will face Newcastle United in a behind-closed-doors friendly.
