Erik ten Hag can turn Manchester United\u2019s fortunes around, insists Scott McTominay.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag has come under renewed pressure following back-to-back home defeats at the hands of Manchester City and Newcastle in the space of four days.<\/p>\n
United now face crucial games against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday and FC Copenhagen in the Champions League in Denmark next Wednesday.<\/p>\n
But McTominay is in no doubt that Ten Hag can engineer a revival following a poor start to the season that has brought eight defeats in 15 games.<\/p>\n
\u2018There\u2019s more that goes into it when you\u2019re not playing well,\u2019 said the United midfielder. \u2018It\u2019s not quite happening at the moment, but I\u2019m 100 per cent sure that the manager can put that into practice and it can come off.<\/p>\n

\u2018Everyone knows that we\u2019re not in our best period at the minute. We have to stick together, that\u2019s the most important thing. We have another game coming up and potentially in a week\u2019s time the picture could be a little bit different \u2013 win in the Champions League and wins in the league.<\/p>\n
\u2018Obviously the fans will hear the generic response of \u201cwe\u2019ve got to stick together\u201d, but it\u2019s true. Everyone wants this football club to succeed and we have to pull together and try to be as good with each other as possible in the dressing-room to get those results going our way.<\/p>\n
\u2018I feel like we\u2019ve got more than enough talent in the changing room to do that. But obviously something isn\u2019t quite clicking. That\u2019s up to the manager and the players to fix that, and I\u2019m 100 per cent confident that we will.\u2019<\/p>\n
McTominay believes the key to turning the corner will be to block out he external noise and \u2018fight like dogs\u2019 to put things right.<\/p>\n
\u2018We have to win, that\u2019s always the thought process,\u2019 he added. \u2018Obviously my thoughts are with the fans at the minute because we\u2019re not playing well and it\u2019s difficult for them.<\/p>\n
\u2018They pay their hard-earned money every week to come and watch us, and the least we can do is play well and win football matches.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They have lost five of their first 10 games in the Premier League and two of their three matches in the Champions League<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The midfielder said United’s players’ angers is ‘towards themselves and not pleasing the fans’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Red Devils crashed out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening, losing 3-0 at home to Newcastle in a repeat of last year’s final<\/p>\n
\u2018It\u2019s not quite happening at the moment, sometimes that\u2019s football. But I feel like for us in that dressing-room we have to stay tight and keep a clear head, and we can\u2019t get too emotional with everything that surrounds us. We\u2019ve got to block it all out.<\/p>\n
\u2018Everyone has to come together and when the next game comes we have to fight like dogs, that\u2019s the way it\u2019s got to be.<\/p>\n
\u2018I feel like the players feel that whenever we go back inside the dressing-room, the anger is towards ourselves and also the anger is towards not pleasing the fans and giving them what they want.<\/p>\n
\u2018I can assure the fans that\u2019s probably the most important thing in the players\u2019 heads. We want to do it for the people who travel home and away and watch every single game and support us.\u2019<\/p>\n
