For me, I would love to see him stay all season. It would greatly increase our chance of at least 3rd place. The longer it takes to move him on, the less time the incoming manager will have to turn things round.

That is pretty much the Crux of it, David. I can't speak for you, but 4X4 drivers in particular are exactly what you describe. They're bullies, they try to intimidate people & it really does piss me off.
But I couldn't agree more with the first bit of your post that I made bold. Whether I'm driving through Cornwall, London, The Midlands or Milton Keynes, it really does seem that the faster, more flashy & more expensive the car is, the bigger the arsehole is that's sat behind the wheel.
As for @Stevespurs71 @TottenhamMattSpur & @Ionman34 , if you guys would like to pop down to Cornwall to teach the BMW drivers down here what those little stalks on the left of the steering wheel, and the flashy/blinking orange lights are for, you'd probably be given the freedom of the county. Oh & which one of you mentioned Volvo's? Couldn't agree more!

When we do it right it’s a thing if beauty isn’t it.
Yeh sure, especially with the ref's attitude and a stone wall penalty not given.

Agree. I dont think a Man U player hit the floor once without getting a freekick.
I remember shouting hallelujah when we finally got given one (a freekick)

Just re watched the game without the hype and emotions. We were actually not that bad in the 1st half as I had first reported in the OP. We stood up to them in the initial 30 minute onslaught away at Old Trafford, so it didnt make for exciting football but we were very effective and rode the storm where could or should have had a couple goals ourselves.
I was also mindful of Sam Alladyce's claim that Manu was the better team as they had 27 shots at goal to our 9 according to the BBC stats (He admitted that he only saw the highlights). I counted and there was no way that statistic was correct. You could argue that we created the better chances while some of theirs's were because of our errors for example Danny Rose's back pass.
Anyway, we need to keep Toby (Kiss and make up please) as with him on board, we will do some serious damage this campaign!

ESPN had the stats as 23 - 9 but interestingly both sides had 5 on target.

Well having watched the match objectively and being careful with my count, it was no where near those figures, unless they were also counting misplaced crosses or back passes (Rose)!

The match report from ESPN did actually state that Harry Kane was deservedly booked for a studs up challenge

Edit....
Harry Kane was shown a deserved yellow card as the match neared the 25-minute mark for a sliding studs-up challenge on Antonio Valencia.

Watching the whole game for the first time and the first thirty minutes was certainly a more evenly contested period of play than I had assumed from stats plus reports. Sure Lukaku missed a sitter but this period of play was a good contest of a home side trying to play on the front foot and the opposition taking the game to them.

My recollection is that it looked like a 50-50 challenge and that his studs certainly weren't up; his foot was on the ground. You could argue that it was a foul and I'm not at all surprised that he got a yellow but I don't think it was deserved.

Agree 100% (What I posted was ESPNs version.) I thought it was innocuous myself. Valencia got booked later for a pretty bad (normal for him) challenge and Pogba did quite a bit of rampaging in anger but the ref let a lot of Man U sins slide by. And he was fooled a lot by them play acting.
