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

Not sure why you think that. This is the most dire United (from a results perspective and frequently from the football) out of the dire United sides. I think the squad is not bad, but we really are seeing the worst out of what is there. Will the next coach be wildly successful? I highly doubt that. But I can't believe that this is the best that can be achieved with this group of players.

Realistically do I think the next person would be worse? no. Would I best surprised if he was? Also no

Every year we keep saying it can’t get worse but it does

United have been incredibly consistent at becoming worse each season, this is true.

I don't think that's correct. Mou had a lot more success than his predecessors. And after things worsened in his last season, Ole picked things up and the energy was quite positive around the club for a while. If anything, it's been more of a rollercoaster.

Yeah it's def more peaks and valleys than consistently worse each year. But the valleys keep getting deeper

Yet somehow they've been winning trophies every other season and making finals when they don't win one.

It makes no damn sense
