Erik ten Hag says he’s “certain” he can turn around Manchester United‘s fortunes after a disastrous start to the season.
The derby defeat to Manchester City on Sunday was United’s seventh of the season after just 14 games.

But writing to fans in his programme notes for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup tie against Newcastle United, the Dutchman insists he’s convinced the team will come good.
“At Manchester United, every game involves high stakes,” Ten Hag wrote in United Review.
“Every single day, there is pressure on everybody involved with this club, but those demands and standards are a challenge which we must always meet head-on. While this has not been the start to the season that we had all hoped for, I am certain that we have the talent and attitude as a collective to move in the right direction.
“I believe that it is only a matter of time before we are showing our true selves. It will come, I am certain.”
