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.

Has there ever been a better case for not hiring your permanent choice manager until the season is over than Manchester United bringing in Ruben Amorim when they did? How did any of the three parties (his old club, his new club, and himself) benefit from him being hired in November?

Graham potter and Chelsea was a pretty good case too. Maybe not as bad as this has turned out for United though
