It has not been pretty at times for United under the guidance of manager Eva Olid, but the Red Devils are on the up after a rocky start to the WSL season.<\/p>\n
United were beaten in their opening two games of the campaign, but are now unbeaten in 12 in all competitions after a change in fortunes.<\/p>\n
Olid’s side, who have not tasted defeat since 13 September, became the first team to prevent champions Manchester City from winning this term and have continued to grow.<\/p>\n
From the first whistle at Leigh Sports Village, United were in control against Palace and it was more a question of how many the hosts would score.<\/p>\n
Concerns were raised over the lack of depth in the squad, but Olid has the luxury of leaving Ella Toone on the bench as she selects her favoured starting line-up.<\/p>\n
Securing a place in the Champions League may be a very realistic target for United this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has not been pretty at times for United under the guidance of manager Eva Olid, but the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-917365","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
