Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag insists he can turn around the team's sudden slide.

Ten Hag recognises there's huge disappointment around the club after their Carabao Cup defeat at home to Newcastle United.

The Dutchman said, "I understand that when the results are not there, it is a logical process to question [the manager].

"But I am confident I can do it. With all my clubs I have done it and also last year I did it here as well. In this moment, we are in a bad place. I take responsibility for it. I see it as a challenge."

Ten Hag also had a word for the fans: "Thank you that you are behind us. In these difficult moments, you are still behind us. We don't deserve it in this moment because we are not giving top performances. We are trying.

"But trying is not good enough in top football. We know that. We have to do things better and we have to raise our standards."
