Manchester United manager Eva Olid reaffirmed her commitment to an attacking style following a 5-0 defeat to Chelsea. Despite the loss, Olid insisted she must remain faithful to her identity to build long-term consistency. She acknowledged the difficulty of implementing her philosophy against top opposition early in the season but emphasized that changing tactics would prevent the team from developing the confidence needed to play her way.

Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor praised her team's clinical finishing and sustained intensity, noting the comprehensive 5-0 victory was a way to show respect to the opponent. Bompastor highlighted the team's improved mentality compared to their previous draw with Aston Villa.

Manchester United goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce made several key saves to prevent a heavier scoreline. United managed only two shots, with one on target, as they remain winless under Olid's reign. The team faces Arsenal next weekend as they look to build on early-season lessons despite the challenging start.
