Ten Hag believes Man Utd's slow start is nothing to worry about

United have secured victory in only three of their nine matches in all competitions so far this season, managing to score just 5 goals in 6 games. As a result, the club currently sits in 13th place in the Premier League standings.

Despite the club’s poor start the Dutch manager believes this season can be a “success” as he spoke to on Monday. 

"Nothing is easy, but this is nothing for me to panic about. We can sort (the problems) out, this team can sort this out." 

Last season United finished eighth which is their lowest-ever Premier League finish but with an FA Cup under his belt Ten Hag secured a new contract which many have questioned after this season's poor start. 

"We created a togetherness in the summer with the ownership and the leadership," Ten Hag said as he spoke on the state of the club. 

"We made this agreement, and we were all behind it. We know the strategy (is to bring in) young players in a transition period. 

"They also know in May in all my last six seasons there were always trophies and that is what we are aiming for." 

United face a trip to Porto in the Europa League on Thursday night then travel to Villa Park to face an in form Aston Villa side which could decide the fate of Ten Hag despite his positive outlook.
