Some fans are losing all faith in Ruben Amorím after the 3-1 defeat at Brentford.

Is he really United's worst-ever manager? Is it his fault?

It's multi-faceted, and far too nuanced to simplify that much. But something has to change.

Well, Leicester-Wrexham was a LOT shorter on quality than I expected!!

Wrexham fought hard for the point. But Leicester were just crap.

Amazing away support from the Wrexham fans though.

Hated. Adored. Never ignored.

Manchester United not even in the Champions League, but so many pundits circling back to us still!

I guess so many former players doing well, can't be a coincidence though 🤔

Anaemic. Shambolic. Toothless.
My reaction to another United shocker at the Etihad.

A fairly measured reaction to Serbia 0-5 England I'd say!

My top 5 United home kits of the Ferguson era. I don't think any modern ones come close to these IMO.

What's your number one? Did I miss any obvious outstanding kits?? 🔴⚪⚫

Am I being unreasonable for suggesting Everton were "slightly lucky" to beat Wolves 3-2?? They played well, but nearly let it slip.

So many Everton fans came at me on socials, despite this video being overwhelmingly positive! 😂

The internet. Can't win!

Man Utd 3-2 Burnley instant reaction.

A bit of relief for Ruben Amorím as a late Bruno Fernandes penalty seals 3 valuable points. The intensity was a big improvement. But wow, we are woeful sometimes.

Like it or not, Ruben Amorím's on borrowed time after the Grimsby shit show.

Will he walk? It sounded like he wanted to.

Should he get the sack? I hope not, I'm sick of the toxic cycle.

But he NEEDS to switch up that system! Especially against Burnley which is now must-win.

Mbappé leaves, and PSG start to click.

Is Kylian Mbappé too much of a luxury player for Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid? 🤔

Ralf Rangnick knew.

Open heart surgery, that's what he said we needed. He could see the club and the culture were rotten.

Question is, can Ruben Amorim be arsed enough to put up with the same old shit from the top?
