A defiant Erik ten Hag has vowed to "make a success" from Manchester United's rough start to the season, saying there is "nothing for me to panic about".
The Dutchman cut a morose figure during Sunday's 3-0 rout at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at Old Trafford, with captain Bruno Fernandes sent off.
It has further increased the pressure on his position at the helm, despite having delivered Carabao Cup and FA Cup success in his first two terms in charge.
But ahead of a UEFA Europa League clash with Porto and a top-flight trip to Aston Villa, Ten Hag has pledged to turn matters around, backing his team to deliver change.

"We are going to make a success from the season," he told Sky Sports. "Nothing is easy, but this is nothing for me to panic about. We can sort [it] out, this team can sort this out.
"If you lose your faith, you lose everything. We have to keep going and stick to the plan. From the moment I came in, we knew we had to change.
"We had to replace some older players. Our choice was to bring young players in and that takes time to get the messages on board. In the meantime, you have to win
"I think we have proven in the last two years that we win. I've proven in my career that always I will win. The last six years I have eight trophies."
Ten Hag arrived at United from Ajax following the club's dismal 2021-22 campaign, which saw the exit of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the interim reign of Ralf Ragnick.
He delivered Carabao Cup glory and a third-place finish in his first term, but struggled with an injury-ravaged squad last term and only reached Europe with their FA Cup run.
