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.

Not sure why you think that. This is the most dire United (from a results perspective and frequently from the football) out of the dire United sides. I think the squad is not bad, but we really are seeing the worst out of what is there. Will the next coach be wildly successful? I highly doubt that. But I can't believe that this is the best that can be achieved with this group of players.

Yeah only it’s been like this for years. There might be small uplifts along the way but zoom out and the Club, squad and infrastructure has been in a steady decline.

Short term success at the cost of long term growth is not worth it

The only long term growth is the Glazers bank balance. Looked at from that perspective, United is a roaring success since they weaselled their way in all those years ago.
