‘At Manchester United you have to fight’ – Erik ten Hag vows to fight for his job

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag insists he is not overwhelmed by the demands and pressure that comes with the Manchester United job.

The Dutchman guided the club to a third place finish and Carabao Cup success last season, but this season has been more challenging amid a poor run of results.

Asked if he is surprised by the size of the job at hand at Old Trafford, ten Hag said: “No. It’s my second year.

“I know it’s not always going up, you will have your gaps and you get stronger from it as long as you stay together.

“That’s what we’re doing. The dressing-room, all the staff, coaches, medical, everyone is united and at United you fight.”

Meanwhile, United take on Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday, hoping to return to winning ways.
