Speaking on Wednesday, ten Hag emphasized his belief in the team's ability to overcome challenges and turn their fortunes around.

"We are going to make a success from the season," he told .

"Nothing is easy, but this is nothing for me to panic about," he added. "We can sort [the problems] out, this team can sort this out."

"We created a togetherness in the summer with the ownership and the leadership. We made this agreement, and we were all behind it. We know the strategy [is to bring in] young players in a transition period. They also know in May in all my last six seasons there were always trophies and that is what we are aiming for."

United will face Porto away in the Europa League, while their next Premier League game is against Aston Villa. Wins in those matches should see the Dutchman ease some pressure on him, however, defeats in those matches could be the beginning of the end for him. According to him, the Manchester United board have backed him despite the poor run of form but things could change in case they fail to win the upcoming fixtures.
