Manchester United Women have confirmed their starting XI for Saturday evening’s Women’s Super League clash with Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
Eva Olid has made several changes following last weekend’s 5-0 defeat to Chelsea, with Simi Awujo brought into the starting side.
Ella Toone is named among the substitutes, while Elisabeth Terland continues in attack.
Captain Maya Le Tissier starts in defence as United look to claim their first WSL points of the season.
Awujo starts as Olid changes Man Utd midfield
Awujo’s inclusion is one of the biggest selection calls.
The Canada international came off the bench against Chelsea and now gets an opportunity from the start as Olid reshapes her midfield.
Hinata Miyazawa, Julia Zigiotti Olme and Janssen are also included, while Toone drops to the bench.
That is a significant decision after Toone started United’s 5-0 defeat against Chelsea.
Olid is still searching for her first competitive victory since taking charge, with United losing their opening two WSL matches.
The head coach’s arrival was expected to bring a more developmental, possession-based identity, something we examined in our look at how Eva Olid could change Manchester United Women.
Saturday gives her another major test.
Terland leads Manchester United attack
Phallon Tullis-Joyce starts in goal.
Le Tissier captains a defensive unit containing Hanna Sandberg, Hanna Lundkvist and Medina.
Terland remains the focal point in attack, with Park and Awujo among the players expected to support her.
The full United XI is:
Manchester United: Tullis-Joyce; Sandberg, Le Tissier (C), Lundkvist, Medina; Park, Terland, Awujo, Zigiotti, Janssen, Hinata.
Substitutes: Leitzig, Hill, Simpson, Anderson, Bernal, Griffiths, Toone, Jusu Bah, Schüller.
