Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed belief his team will turn around their poor start to the season.
The Dutch manager says he is confident his players have what it takes to address their poor form.
United were eliminated from the Carabao Cup on Wednesday after a heavy 3-0 home defeat against Newcastle United.

The loss came amid a disappointing start to the Premier League season. Ten Hag’s team are placed eighth on the table with 15 points garnered after 10 matches.
“They want to put this right,” Ten Hag said of his squad.
“We know the standards here and we have to make those standards every day.
“We will fight back. The players are strong, the coaches are strong and the manager is strong.”
During their last league outings, the Red Devils were also whitewashed 3-0 by Manchester City. United travel to London to take on Fulham on Saturday (13:30 GMT+1).
Multiple injury concerns
Ten Hag will be without midfielder Casemiro for several weeks because of a hamstring injury suffered against Newcastle.

A United statement said the 31-year-old Brazilian “was withdrawn at half-time due to the issue, and subsequent assessment has revealed a strain that will keep him out for a number of weeks”.
Sadly, Brazilian midfielder Casemiro has been injured. He joins defenders Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Lisandro Martinez on the treatment table. Also, there is a likelihood Swedish defender Victor Lindelof will not be available for the Fulham game.
Meanwhile, after missing the game against Newcastle in midweek, former Real Madrid defender Raphael Varane is now available for selection.
