Manchester United Women have undergone a significant summer of change.
Change
There have been departures of numerous key players, including Melvine Malard, Leah Galton and Millie Turner, to name a few.
Furthermore, Marc Skinner left his role and Eva Olid replaced him, having departed Heart of Midlothian after leading them to a league title last season.
United have also been active in the market, bringing in Andrea Medina and Janina Leitzig.
Yesterday also saw the official announcement of the dynamic Monica Jusu Bah, who will add much-needed quality to the squad’s wide play.
Coaching change-up
As is commonplace, United will be making some changes to their coaching department after appointing a new head coach.
The Cutback reports that, “Manchester United are set to appoint Gavin Beith, a former assistant at Hearts, to Eva Olid’s coaching staff, while Carl Green is expected to depart the club.”
The report adds, “Beith reunites with Olid who was head coach of the SWPL champions for five years. He was part of Olid’s coaching staff during the 2023-24 season where Hearts finished fifth.”
He has also worked with the Scottish youth teams and Aberdeen between 2021 and 2023.
As a result, Carl Green will depart the club after working for over five years with Skinner at United.
Assistant coach Scott Rogers and first team coach Dan Bale are still working for the club and, as of now, there are no reported plans to make any further alterations to the coaching team.
United take on Manchester City in their final pre-season warm-up game today before opening their WSL campaign against London City Lionesses next Friday.
