Ten Hag: Man Utd not the 'impossible job' - but we must fight

Erik ten Hag has denied being Manchester United manager is an "impossible job".

Pundits have made the claim this week with United enduring their worst season start in the Premier League era.

But United boss Ten Hag says: “It is the wrong way (to look at it). We have to fight. There is no club where it never goes down.

"We are in a bad place, but then you have to fight. Everyone has to realise that we are there and that you have to fight together and be on one page in every occasion.

"The last game was a good example of it. We were for 28 minutes on one page, we scored a goal and then in one split second we are not on one page. It was the first shot the opponent got and it went straight in. You can't allow it in top football.

"It is about moments and details, isn't it? Opponents will always benefit from it, so we can't allow them the small details.

“Absolutely. It gives me more energy to fight and turn this around."
