Moreover, it is one of the worst start for the Red Devils in their history. Owing to the defeat, Erik Ten Hag told Sky Sports,
“We know it’s not good enough. We have to take responsibility for it. I have to take responsibility for it.
“I have to say sorry to the fans as it was below our standards and we have to put it right.”
Erik further says,
“We have to recover from it and we have to do it quickly. Saturday is the next game [against Fulham] and we have to raise our standards. This is not good enough.
“We have [enough quality]. The players will stand up. They are sticking together. You have seen they tried but we know this is not good enough, I am responsible for this, and we have to do this together.
“To get your confidence, first you have to play and you get confidence when you get the right result. It’s only possible when you’re following the rules, the principles, winning your battles and bringing the fight.
“You have to do this as a team. The only way is to stick together, but you have to be disciplined, everyone has to co-operate and be accountable. We still sleep on this, then pick the team and the tactics.
“The most important thing is to put our mentality right.”
