Manchester United Women beat Aston Villa Women 1-0 at Villa Park, with a second half goal from Zigiotti Olme.
Manager Eva Olid explained, “not everything is perfect, I can feel the team improving but there is still a lot to work on.”
United have extended their unbeaten streak to nine games in all competitions, with three consecutive clean sheets.
Since joining as manger in august before the start of the WSL season, Olid has seen two losses, three draws and picked up four wins in the first nine games.
The two losses were the opening games against London City Lionesses and Chelsea but since then they have, “Improved a lot in how we play but we need to build the confidence within the squad.
“In terms of the squad, I want everyone to know its competitive, today she (Zigiotti) didn’t start but came on and made the difference”
Olid praised Zigiotti, “She came in and worked so hard and scored the winning goal again.”
Manchester United currently sit fifth in the WSL table, 10 points behind leaders Manchester City, with their sights set on improving, “The team showed today they can work together as a team, and we need to focus week by week.”
United’s substitutes had a massive impact against Aston Villa, “It’s so good that we have depth and had so many options to change the game.
“The others need to think next time I can be on the bench and if I want to play, I need to make a difference.”
Many of their games have been low scoring in the league, “It’s frustrating as we dominated but couldn’t score the chances; the priority is we need to improve in the final third and build confidence.”
Going forward Olid believes, “We need to keep this momentum; this league is amazing everyone is good and has strength.”
Manchester United face Crystal Palace at the Leigh Sports Village on Saturday, November 14th with Kick Off at 12:45.
