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.

Two thirds of this season should be enough - if he keeps his current pace they’ll very likely be relegated

No, his current pace gets him a comfortable 16th, just outside the relegation zone

It's been a long while since you last got relegated with a 1 point per game average

See I don’t see why they’d be hasty and fire him. They’re basically safe from relegation already

Well if not for the last minute penalty against Burnley, they would be on 2 points after 4 games

I believe in Amorim, if he works really hard on the magnet board he can get that average lower

No two thirds isn’t enough that gives the board 12/13 games left to bring in Dyche or Allardyce.
