Erik ten Hag said he is convinced he will “get the job done” at Manchester United despite a nightmare start to his first season in charge.
United face Liverpool at Old Trafford on Monday having lost their first two games of the season against Brighton and Brentford.
Ten Hag, though, said he was ready for a tough introduction after being appointed manager in the summer but has backed himself to bring success back to the club.

“I’m not here for myself, I’m here for the club and to restore the club,” he told a news conference ahead of the clash with Liverpool.
“I knew before this is a challenge and I wanted this challenge. I knew before it was going to be hard but I wanted that because in my career, everywhere I started, the start was difficult but I get it done, and I’m convinced I get it done here as well.”
Ten Hag is looking for a reaction from his players after cancelling a planned day off in the aftermath of the humiliating 4-0 defeat at Brentford last weekend.
