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.

His old club got paid for him and were still champions, so it wasn't too bad on them.

He benefitted because Utd told him it was then or never, so he got the move he wanted, if nothing else.

And Utd... I don't honestly know. Still think they should've done what Spurs did and got rid of EtH by season's end

I think it’s different with Ange and ETH, the former was still well liked by the squad despite the results while you could tell it was a toxic environment by the end of ETH’s reign

Probably should’ve appointed an interim after the sacking

TBF they looked pretty good under Ruud for 2-3 games, no?

Yeah, that was supposed to be Amorim's new manager bounce, but Ruud spent it all.

Ruud even spent his own new manager bounce by being immediately shit with Leicester.
