It's been an interesting week for Manchester United supporters, who've gone through a rollercoaster of emotions since the 2-0 defeat to Pep Guardiola's City.
When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer signed the likes of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer, expectations rose. People expected there to be a challenge to those who've dominated English football over the past few years - the likes of City and Liverpool. However, after just 11 games, those hopes seem to have evaporated.
United are currently nine points off the top, so anyone thinking the club can get back into the mix can think again. Why? Because the teams above Solskjaer, like City, Liverpool and Chelsea, are in a league of their own. They're miles ahead of them.
When United lost to City, it left Solskjaer with just one win out of his last six Premier League matches played at home. That isn't good enough, considering the depth he has at his disposal.
Yet, despite the poor performances, lack of identity and reports of player discontent in the dressing room, Solskjaer remains in a job. Why? Well, only those at the top know the true answer to this.
MEN Sport understand Solskjaer is still on borrowed time as United manager and, although it looks unlikely to turn things around, the club are yet to identify an obvious replacement should they decide to make a change.
The lack of a succession plan is perhaps why Solskjaer is still in a job and it remains to be seen whether that stance will change if United lose their next round of fixtures against Watford, Villarreal, Chelsea and Arsenal.
Although United's board are currently undecided on Solskjaer, it feels as if the fanbase is.
Out of the 10,000 people who voted in a MEN survey, 75 per cent of those who took part said that a new manager is what United need to improve most.
Despite the mutual consensus with United supporters, it feels as if the fanbase has never been so split. Why? Plenty of reasons, but the manager is at the centre of it and a lack of a decision from the board has massively contributed to anger and frustration.
If you delve into the world of social media, you'll realise that there's meant to be a protest going on this Saturday at Old Trafford and although there are people who've claimed it's against the ownership, there were images floating around of the date and time for the event, with the caption '#Glazers Out, #OleOut.'
I'll never tell anyone their rights and wrongs about how to protest as long as it's peaceful, but it doesn't sit right with me that there could be a protest about a manager who's a legend of the club. It's wrong in my eyes and I don't think any United fan should do that, but it's just my opinion and another example of how much of a divide there is with United supporters.
When you go into United Twitter, all you can see is people arguing with each other about the rights and wrongs as a supporter when in reality, we all want the same thing! Everyone wants Manchester United to be successful - it's just how you go about it.
I feel most supporters think Solskjaer's time is up and that might be the case, but remember who you're supporting. Fans arguing between each other will just make the club look like more of a laughing stock than it already does at the moment.
Whatever your opinions on Solskjaer, you need to support the team and wish the very best for the club. Granted, that might be without United's current manager, but does he really deserve loads of abuse? Criticise the football and his tactics all you want, but personal attacks are wrong.
The best solution to this? United need to come out and make a statement for supporters to offer some clarity. Otherwise, arguments will continue in the fanbase.
