Do you think he should be sacked then, genuinely?
I agree that some signs are far from encouraging (team selection, some comments, etc), but he needs more time. This was always a likely situation with a difficult start to the season, even with SAF I wouldn't have been confident of us doing much better up to this point, WBA aside.
The main thing he needs to realise is that he needs to be more attacking/positive, use Carrick and Fellaini as more holding players if necessary and then let the likes of Nani/Kagawa/Januzaj/Zaha/Rooney get plenty of starts and I'm sure they'll do a far better job going forward from midfield than Welbeck and Valencia.
Team I want to see later:
----------De Gea------------
Rafael - Vidic - Evans- Evra
------Carrick - Fellaini------
--Nani - Rooney - Kagawa-
------------RvP--------------
Team we'll actually see:
-------------De Gea---------------
Smalling - Vidic - Evans- Buttner
---------Jones---Cleverley--------
--Valencia-- --Giggs-- --Young--
------------- Welbeck ------------

Yeah I think RvP is fine.
What makes you want to play Smalling (and despite his flaws Evra is far better than Buttner)? No RvP?
Edit: Jones in midfield.

Jones CB is good news, it's where he needs to be playing and we'll judge him from that.
Fellaini has a wrist injury so that's why Cleverley is in there and he should do the job. I might have been tempted to slip Kagawa in there but it'd be risky.
