This defeat leaves United in eighth place in the Premier League, having won just one of their last seven league games, raising doubts about Ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford. However, the Dutch manager remains confident he can turn things around.
Asked if he still feels he’s the right man to lead United, Ten Hag responded after the match against Crystal Palace:
“Absolutely. If the right players are there, so available, then we have a good squad.”
He added: “I will keep fighting. I prepared the team in the best way I could do.
“It was not good enough, I have to take responsibility for that but I will find energy and prepare them for Sunday’s game.”
