According to Erik ten Hag, Manchester United players “want to put this right.”

Erik ten Hag claimed on Friday that Manchester United’s players “want to put this right” as he tries to turn around a disastrous season.

Following Newcastle’s 3-0 League Cup defeat at Old Trafford, United have now lost five of their first ten home games in all competitions for the first time since the 1930/31 season.

Ten Hag’s men return to Premier League play at Fulham on Saturday, a week after being thrashed 3-0 by Manchester City.

The Dutch manager’s future is being questioned, as his team is eighth in the Premier League table after five defeats in ten games and is fighting to qualify for the Champions League knockout stages.

Ten Hag, adamant in his pre-match press conference, claimed he believed in his team despite their dismal run of form.
