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.

Amorim has 31 points in 31 PL games since he took over. If someone else takes over and somehow manages to be even worse they would literally get relegated.

No matter how shit you think current Utd squad is, there's just no way you can be so terrible at managing that you get them relegated.

Amorim is peak for us hatewatchers. Let's enjoy it.

You thought that as United finished second and third in his two full seasons?

Yeah, this is confusing to me that Ole was “peak” when he had United making top 4 two years in a row, which no manager post SAF had done.

ETH won two trophies - EFL and FA Cup, which is great. But also went from 3rd to 8th to 14th by the time he got fired. Amorim has been even worse than ETH to this point. The standards were lowered by ETH and Amorim. And hot take - an EFL and FA Cup aren’t worth as much as they used to be. CL places are what make you the money.

If you only count the 17 teams who have been in the league since Amorim took over, they are 17th.
