The Oxford Dictionary defines 'patience' as the ability to stay calm and accept a delay or something annoying without complaining.
The patience of Manchester United fans has been tested over and over again this season. It has been yet another futile campaign. United's challenge for the Premier League title never began and they find themselves out of all cup competitions in March. That's not what supporters pay their hard-earned money for season tickets for. They expect more from their club than insufferable mediocrity.
Ralf Rangnick will leave his interim position at the end of the season and United's search for a new permanent manager is now well underway. Erik ten Hag, Mauricio Pochettino, Luis Enrique, Julen Lopetegui and Thomas Tuchel are all admired at Old Trafford and Ten Hag interviewed for the position earlier this week. Club sources have indicated they are open to all candidates at this stage.
