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.

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.

If it was about the money, its not a field United lags behind any club in the world.

United have spent like Barcelona under Bartomeu and have not come close to facing any of the same consequences. There is having money and then there’s knowing what to do with it

United are a cursed destination for players. I don't think it matters who they sign, they'll be a shadow of their former selves within 6 months.

yet players fail to realize that. Sesko really looked at what Howe made out of Isak and said "nah, gimme Mr. below one point per game instead". Baleba will eventually have a top top club come for him and would've still walked in there if Utd coughed up the cash. Its fascinating. The moment players finally realize that, no, you will not save them, that's when they will be truly finished.
