Manchester United are set to name former Hearts boss Eva Olid as their women’s manager.
BBC Sport understands the Spaniard, 40, will meet the United squad on Wednesday as the club finalise her appointment after Marc Skinner left the role by mutual consent on Monday – a month before the start of the Women’s Super League (WSL) season.
Olid left Hearts this summer, having guided the Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL) club to their first league title last campaign.
She joined Hearts in 2021 and signed an extension until the summer of 2026 with the option of a further year, but the club announced in April that Olid was to leave at the end of the season by mutual agreement.
Olid also guided the Edinburgh side to their first domestic final, but lost to Rangers in the 2024 Scottish Cup.
Hearts finished fourth in back-to-back seasons under Olid before dropping to fifth in 2024-25. But they finished two points clear of Rangers to win their first silverware last term.
