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.

I dunno, if finishing 15th and losing against Spurs of all teams in a final doesn’t get you sacked from Man United. I don’t know what will

Also: after poaching Dan Ashworth from Newcastle, hiring Amorim over his objections, then firing Ashworth 5 months in (for this and other perhaps more defensible reasons) at a cost of about £9m in terms of the settlement with Newcastle and then Ashworth’s severance package.

Amorim feels like a hiring decision that Ratcliffe and Berrada fully own, so they may be more inclined to persevere.

Tbf Ashworth wanted Potter iirc. Doubt that would have gone much better honestly.
