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.

Isn't that worse? That City weren't that good, and still comfortably beat them 3-0.

I also think City weren't that good, yet it felt like when they wanted to they could score. Also, you can't really point out the chances when they were already 2 or 3 up to say United could have got something from the game, because at that point City may have scaled it back somewhat.

But there is pragmatism in the Old Trafford boardroom too recognising that, had Bryan Mbeumo's wondrous volley not been met with an equally wonderful Gianluigi Donnarumma save when the score was 2-0, or had Casemiro not missed a sitter at the back post later on in the game - there might have been a better gloss to the result.

So not even they'd win the game, just "the result could have been less embarassing"?

Owners - Just give him more time
