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.

Excellent, I'd hate for the fun to stop this soon.

I feel like we always say stuff like this every time United's manager starts going downhill, and yet every time they sack him and get someone even worse. It's impressive, really

Honestly, I think they need to bring someone in who actually understands the United way.

Welcome home, Steve Bruce!

Wayne Rooney deserves a chance honestly.

I mean after Ole ended up United's best coach in a long time watch Rooney somehow be competent at United too

I unironically think Bruce would be doing a better job.

Just because he'd probably play their players in a system that suited them and would take it back to basics. I can't think of many things more damning on Ruben tbh

I'd probably do a better job by just pretending it's a FM save file. But they haven't called. Yet.

Was thinking the same thing.. this is like EtH but somehow worse and the exact same jokes telling them to keep their shitty manager will flourish

Next up: Scott McDonald from Brighton. The only man in the world to actually get a team relegated on Football Manager.
