Erik Ten Hag insists Manchester United are fighting together to try to turn their season around.<\/p>\n

The Red Devils have lost four of their first six matches, with Wednesday\u2019s 4-3 defeat by Bayern Munich in the Champions League following a 3-1 reversal against Brighton, leaving Ten Hag embattled little over a month into the new campaign.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman said: \u201cIt\u2019s my second year. I know it\u2019s not always only going up, you will have your gaps and you get stronger from it as long as you stay together, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dressing room, staff, all the staff, coaches, medical, everyone is united and at United you fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Stories of disgruntlement in the dressing room have begun to appear while the attitude of players has also been question.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag tried to paint a positive picture, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s a leak but I know opinion, I know my players. Everyone can make suggestions, we are OK with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

There have also been suggestions of unhappiness at the influence of Ten Hag\u2019s agent, Kees Vos, and his Sports Entertainment Group on transfer dealings.<\/p>\n

When one or two are not doing their job, it’s like a pack of cards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can\u2019t be because we make very good agreements about it from the start, how we cooperate in that manner,\u201d said Ten Hag. \u201cFor player decisions, transfers, it\u2019s always 50-50, we both have a veto \u2013 the club, represented by John Murtough, and me. So there can never be a distraction.\u201d<\/p>\n

United\u2019s poor form has made Saturday\u2019s trip to Burnley a high-pressure occasion, and they will again be without Jadon Sancho, who remains absent from the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt depends on him,\u201d said Ten Hag. \u201cFor the rest, we are preparing for Burnley and that\u2019s our focus. He will not be in the squad.\u201d<\/p>\n

United have not been helped by a multitude of injuries but could have Raphael Varane, Mason Mount, Sofyan Amrabat and Harry Maguire back for the clash at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n

Central to United\u2019s problems has been a lack of defensive solidity, with 14 goals conceded in their last five games.<\/p>\n

Goalkeeper Andre Onana held his hands up after making a mistake for Bayern\u2019s first goal but Ten Hag believes the problems are collective.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about team and, as a team, we don\u2019t have the results in this moment so then also individuals don\u2019t bring the performance you expect, not only one player, there are more, including the manager,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always tell my players we attack with 11 and we defend with 11. When one or two are not doing their job, it\u2019s like a pack of cards, so that is not only one or two players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burnley picked up their first point on their return to the Premier League against Nottingham Forest last time out and Ten Hag is a fan of their style of play under Vincent Kompany.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAs always, it\u2019s about how we play against Burnley. There\u2019s no easy games, definitely not against Burnley.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how intense they play football, we know their approach. I like the approach from them, the adventure, high intensity and dynamic in their game, so we have to play our best.\u201d<\/p>\n
