Sorry but this United thing is absurd. They were top of the league just a month ago and they're hardly hopelessly adrift from the title race now. They've had a bad run of form but that happens to every team and the only real negative in the intervening time was crashing out the Champions League.

By all means if it's the style of play that is the problem then make that change but the United hierarchy were talking/leaking about a new contract offer a few weeks ago so I don't think it's that. It just seems to be a knee-jerk panic over a bad run of form!

It's a joke how reactionary and short-term football management is. United used to be one of the few bastions of sense in this regard but they seem to have fallen prone to it as well. No long-term planning, no patience. It seems that all the talk from United about patience went out of the window when they realised it meant not winning everything all the time.
