"I am certain" - Two reasons why Erik ten Hag is confident Manchester United will come good

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Erik ten Hag insists it is 'only a matter of time' before Manchester United find their feet under him after a tricky start to the new season.

United have won as many matches as they have lost so far this campaign and were swept aside with ease by Manchester City last weekend.

They will be looking to get their season back on track when they host Newcastle in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup tonight, which will see a rematch of February's showpiece final in the same competition. PREVIEW: How United should line up tonight OPINION: United ignored the warnings with Sofyan Amrabat United ended their trophy drought with a 2-0 win at Wembley that day, and Ten Hag wants his side to rise to the challenge of dealing with the pressure again. "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," he told United Review. "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." The United manager pointed to their three consecutive wins over Brentford, Sheffield United and Copenhagen as evidence of their winning mentality already this season, a feat achieved while his side were without a number of key players through injury.
