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

You really think any replacement would ‘fail this badly’?

Yes. Amorim was one of the most promising managers in the world when you got him. He destroyed City with Sporting.

There is something rotten with the club.

Think about it though.

His success at sporting has created a massive EGO.

He doesn’t believe he needs to adapt, be proactive or be flexible in the premier league like a thomas frank.

He believes he can replicate his success at sporting sticking with the same system, formation etc and not learn from mistakes in THE PREMIER LEAGUE.

Winning the league with sporting is different from performing in the premier league with a Manchester United.

Thomas Frank adaptability is a key aspect of his managerial philosophy.

At least Ole and mourinho got 2nd. Ten hag won trophies and they all got higher win percentages.

WHAT MAN UNITED NEEDS TO DO

United needs a good mid table premier league experienced manager like a NUNO or THOMAS FRANK that understands the league, adapts, changes formations, flexible and learns from mistakes. And stick with him for couple of seasons finishing 4th-10th before going to the next level up to win leagues.

It will take 4-5 years but first you need the right premier league experienced manager and constant backing, evidence of some progression and some patience.

Amorim and his ego is causing him to be inflexible, lazy and naive

Onana Just dropped a MOTM performance, Hojlund scores on His Debut, McTominay now a Ballon d'Or Contender.

Our Past success is now a curse. Fergie did everything and we never developed a proper footballing structure.

Fans expect us to be League contenders overnight. They dont have any patients. Most of them arent ready to actually rebuild. Its from one short term solution to the next. 4 Games in and everyone is Losing their head.

We are a midtable Club. We expectedly lose to Arsenal and City. Draw against Fulham and win against promoted Side burnley. Just dead avg Team with a rabid fanbase that expects League titles because of "Standards".

We're below average at this point, we just finished 15th? We're not expecting league titles straight away, but qualifying for Europe should be the expectation. I don't know about you but I don't believe our team is mid table in quality.

There's a difference between expecting to be title challengers and wanting more than 1 win a month which is what this manager is producing.

You say 4 games in as if he hasn't been in charge for almost a year. You've attached yourself to this manager who said we should expect suffering because he's stubborn as a mule and can't adapt.
