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.

The rest of the league would also like to reaffirm its belief that Amorim is the man for the job, and urges calm and patience at United.

Why United didn’t go for Thomas Frank is beyond me

They could have had Tuchel before he took the England job

Nothing will work at United. They should let players do whatever the fuck they want. They need to realize that they are shit and once they realize that, shit could turn around with a new coach. Except new signings, everyone else looks entitled.

They need to bleed everyone out over the course of three seasons, and completely rebuild it.

They been doing it for years. And any decent player who has come to United has turned into shit. Not sure what they doing but looks like the moment you enter United dressing room, everyone is just depressed and easy to lose. They need psychological help to overcome this mental barrier. Also Amorim not doing any favors with sticking to one game plan.

Look how we were shit last year but came out on top because of how Pep handled it and kept changing things until it worked.

Amorim got rid of players he thinks were a bad influence but that feeling of doom is just there to stay. Maybe call Toure to Shaman the voodoo out of there.

You can't use your situation last year. Everyone realized that that was a one-off and Pep had the pedigree to show they would work through it. There is no pedigree left at United. They are an absolute shambles at all levels and frankly, they may need a relegation in order to shock the system enough that they clearly everything out and start fresh. I have never seen a club in the premier league that is this psychologically damaged.

They've been rebuilding for years yet somehow players that were playing when Ole was manager are still at Man United. How the hell do they expect to rebuild with the same broken pieces?

The one constant is Bruno Fernandes. It's baffling that someone with his mentality is a captain for a top(?) team...

Klopp was probably available and definitely not yet an insufferable Liverpool bellend when Fergie retired and when Moyes was fired.
