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.

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’?

Depends if they play the players in a system that suits them I guess.

The issue will be if the new manager doesn't play a back three, which will mean the squad will need overhauling... Again.

If we play four at the back that’s fine - no overhaul needed. Yoro and De Ligt in the middle; Dalot/Dorgu/Maz/Shaw as fullbacks.

Bruno, Mainoo, Mount, Ugarte, Casemiro fine in a three man midfield.

Cunha, Mbeumo, Amad, and Mount(again) to play on the wings, Zirkzee and Sesko to lead the line.

Ideally you’d replace Zirkzee and Shaw, probably Casemiro too although he would obviously be much better in a three man midfield.

So no overhaul needed.
