Why Manchester United need Terland
With Lucia Garcia leaving, Manchester United had no other choice but to buy another world class striker. They have put their hopes on Brighton’s striker Elisabeth Terland. The 23 year old Norwegian was in a terrific form last season. In 22 matches, she scored 13 goals and finished as the second highest goal scorer in the Women’s Super League.
Elisabeth Terland is very good on the ball and knows how to shoot a ball perfectly from any distance. However, she still lacks a bit of offensive awareness due to which many times she finds herself in an offside position. But it can easily be sorted with practice and good amount of match time.
United’s best ever finish in the league was 2nd. But with the signing of Elisabeth Terland, it could increase the team’s number of goals which might help them win the league. With the leaving of many senior players, a new batch of players could help them achieve what they have never done before.
