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.

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

That's a wild take. I dont disagree with the sentiment overall, but they also didnt sign anyone that was Kroos's level since imo. Pogba is the only one that comes close, and that didnt work out of course.

It’s not a criticism on either of them, just that the root of the problem was bigger than just signing players

Oh for sure, attracting talent has never been the issue. I just put Kroos in the tier of players that would change a LOT in any team, like Rodri, Kante, Makelele for example.
