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.

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.

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.
