As the 2026-27 Women’s Super League season approaches, Manchester United is undergoing a period of substantial organizational and personnel change. The club has parted ways with long-standing head coach Marc Skinner, who led the team for five years, and has appointed Eva Olid as his successor to guide the squad into a new era.

The team’s roster has also seen significant turnover. Several key senior squad members have departed, including Melvine Malard, Gabby George, Millie Turner, and Lisa Naalsund. Additionally, the club saw the exits of Leah Galton and Hannah Blundell, who left following the conclusion of their contracts.

Due to these widespread changes, expectations for the upcoming campaign are tempered. A panel of writers has predicted that Manchester United will finish in 7th place this season, a decline from their 4th-place finish in the previous campaign. The transition period is expected to be a defining factor for the club as they integrate new coaching strategies and adjust to a significantly altered lineup.
