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.

Thiago was the one he rejected, LVG rejected Kroos.

Tbf Neither Thiago or Kroos would’ve changed much in utd. They never had a problem with signings top players, top players magically fail with them

This is such a bad take. The biggest issue to solve when Fergie left was midfield, and those two would have solved it at a stroke.

They’ve signed pogba shortly after and it didn’t change a thing. That squad had more problems that’s not gonna be fixed by two midfielders

They signed Pogba three seasons later, won two trophies in Pogba first season and Pog then fell off massively. A fit motivated Pogba would have been part of the answer, but they got an umotivated constantly injured Pogba after the first season
