Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag insists his squad has the \u2018personality\u2019 and \u2018character\u2019 to attack a tough trio of away fixtures. The Red Devils face a fired-up Everton on Sunday before a must-win Champions League clash with Galatasaray followed by a trip to Newcastle.<\/p>\n
Everton, buoyed by an improved run of form, have been hit with the 10-point deduction and will be desperate to scrape any points they can find. A home crowd angered by the punishment could spur the Toffees on to success.<\/p>\n
Visits to Galatasaray and Newcastle will raise questions over whether this brittle United team can cope in feisty atmospheres, having fallen to a dismal defeat in Copenhagen in their last European outing.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag is under pressure to turn around United\u2019s form having overseen nine defeats in 18 matches this season. \u201cYou could see that this team has personality and character in hostile environments, like in Copenhagen,\u201d Ten Hag said in an interview with United\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe deal with it. I feel quite comfortable away from home. We are, say, one third through the season. It was a tough start, as we’ve seen, but I think we’re catching up.<\/p>\n

So we’re in a good mood and I think we’re heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore we go into that intense programme in December, I think we’re building confidence. We’re building strong beliefs and we’re also building some routines.<\/p>\n \u201cNow we hope we can more or less stay with the same line-up or with 12 to 14 players, because I think so far that was our difficulty. Every time we had to change and we didn’t develop routines.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
