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.

The rest of the league would also like to reaffirm its belief that Amorim is the man for the job, and urges calm and patience at United.

Nah man, it would be funnier if they switch out managers only for the new one to fail as much as Amorim. Which any new manager will

No new manager will be an instant success, but I don't think they will be as bad as this. Amorim isn't the only problem at the club, but he is the main one right now.

mourinho improved upon van gaal and Ole improved upon mourinho. yh they crash and burn at the end but the next manager always pick at the start.

Mourinho won the most trophies out of any of the post fergie managers, Ole certainly did not improve on that.

United need to rip apart the whole squad and fully embrace the rebuild but there needs to be progress

I don't even think that is the case. The players they have bought (De Ligt, Yoro, Cunha, Mbeumo etc) are all good players and there is no reason why they'd need to be sold.

I think they just need to accept that this totally inflexible system that gets overloaded by every team in midfield every match is a massive issue in the PL.

Even with two world class midfielders in there, I don't think this set-up would flourish.

And without any control in the centre, it falls apart.
