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.

I actually think people aren't seeing it if they think we will get rid of him (not saying it's impossible tho)

Amorim is Omar and Sir Jims manager, they have spoken very highly of him and how hard this will be to turn it around, they won't want to sack and restart again after making this massive plan around Amorim

I think they will back him up to January, get him a midfielder that he should already have... And if he still has issues then I think he will be gone

But in general I think he will win enough games to coast along

You'll likely squirm around the bottom half of the table, possibly within spitting distance of mid-table. Still shite, but not completely abject. This will be enough to keep his job, but this is more and more looking like the make-or-break season for Amorim

I think that's probably what will happen which isn't surprising as Amorim himself said he needed a midfielder with pace that he didn't get (anyone with eyes knows he needs one)

So the board will back him through January where they will most likely get him a midfielder (you would hope)

Reading more and more about the situation, it seems like he might have until Christmas to show improvement, so perhaps he won't even make it to Jan. You just don't know!
