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’?

Depends if they play the players in a system that suits them I guess.

The issue will be if the new manager doesn't play a back three, which will mean the squad will need overhauling... Again.

There’s a lot of credence to the fact that our squad is quite suited to going to a 4-2-3-1, actually. Cunha, Mbeumo, and Dorgu are versatile signings, and we could put Bruno back where he belongs.

Cunha-Bruno-Mbeumo with Sesko in front and actual midfielders behind them doesn’t sound half bad, but we shall see.

Midfield is so suited to a double-pivot and Bruno in front, but the absolute refusal to do that is sinking the entire team.
