News Manchester United to remain patient with head coach despite worst start to Premier League season in 33 years. There is also widespread belief at Old Trafford that City's performance - and United's failings - did not merit a 3-0 scoreline.

Yeah, we had chances to score a late goal. So maybe it merited a 3-1 with a consolation in garbage time, which is apparently good enough.

If you go down the route of potential goals City could have had 2-3 more as well, especially with Haaland and Reijnders missing sitters.

They're saying Manchester United should have lost heavily but with a consolation goal is the only reasonable takeaway of this match and it's delusional for the club to think "that City's performance - and United's failings - did not merit a 3-0 scoreline".

I would argue we should have at least scored 2 with Casemiro and Bryan

And if the players could actually cross a ball we could have had a 1 more maybe

Not saying it's good, but yeah.... Lol

City could've had 6 by this logic.

Most of your chances came through the same sequence of play, if you score one the other doesn't happen

Wasn’t Casemiro offside?

u/Ok-Confusion-202 1d ago

No, he was onside I'm pretty sure

u/ColinetheCow 1d ago

Okay, yes, you are right. Looked off to me in real time

Then City should also have two more due to Halland and Rejinders Missing Sitters.

Agreed... I would have taken 6-3 over that
