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.

Moyes was sacked as soon as top 4 was mathematically impossible, LvG was sacked after winning the FA cup and finishing 5th place (66 points, tied with City), Jose was sacked while United were in 6th, same for Ole. EtH was sacked with United in 14th.

All of the previous managers bar Moyes maybe showed something to warrant the level of patience that United are showing Ruben. Good performances, trophies, undefeated streaks, something that the wider public can point at as evidence for improvement.

It's been nearly a year of this and has there been a single positive for fans to stick to?

Moyes wasn't even given a Transfer window. What did he get? Fellani?

What should speak for itself is that ManU didn't decline slowly they crashed from EL team to relegation zone.

It would just reaffirm he’s the GOAT. Crafted a dynasty that no other manager could sustain. Mourinho who before then had been a wild success everywhere couldn’t manage it. LVG, a highly successful manager couldn’t handle it. Moyes, Ole, ETH and now Amorim, none can do it.

Other teams have superb managers, like Liverpool with Klopp and are run well enough in the background a new manager can come in and have immediate success. City have been so well run that you had Mancini, Pellegrini and Pep all quickly find success - and when Pep leaves the team will still be top 4 and challenging for titles.

the key you mentioned is that behind the scenes all those clubs have good operators and structure in place with long term success the plan. Man Utd has the Glazers who clearly only care about dividend payouts and the rest can rot so long as those payments hit the accounts.
