Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel expects the club to stick with manager Jose Mourinho.
The Dane laments United have now become a sacking club.
Schmeichel, who won the 1992 European Championship with Denmark, told BBC Sport: "I don't know what the thinking is and I hate the fact we are club that sacks their managers.
"Sacking a guy after seven months isn't great and Van Gaal didn't fit, and now we have Jose Mourinho - all three are very different and it takes time.
"We are used to the manager staying for a quarter of a century. That's the club we are."
Despite their indifferent start - United are eighth in the Premier League after 12 games, 12 points behind leaders Manchester City - Schmeichel expects Mourinho to stay beyond this season.
"When they picked him they picked his style," he said.
"I'm not complaining about Mourinho. He is the manager and he is giving you trophies but he is not the guy who is going to develop the club like Sir Alex did.
"Mourinho is the kind of manager to stay for two to four years and then move on - but if he stays for 10 years then United could come back. It is the the nature of Manchester United.
"I expect Mourinho to stay, why not?"
