However, Ten Hag has insisted that there is a strong team spirit within his dressing room. Speaking after the win over Fulham, he said: “I am pleased with the spirit of the team and with the way we pressed,” said the Dutchman.
“We saw this [a stoppage-time winner] against Brentford and we have seen it again. It is a good resilience. They know what the standards are. This is Manchester United – you have to win every game.
“This week we have not been happy with the standards and today we improved with our standards. Every game we have to bring the battle which starts with the right mentality and attitude, to show you are hungry with passion and desire.”
