Under-fire Erik ten Hag says Manchester United need to \u201cstand up\u201d and work \u201cshoulder by shoulder\u201d to turn around a season that is threatening to go into a tailspin.<\/p>\n
Old Trafford is under the spotlight after two 3-0 home humiliations in the space of four days ratcheted up the pressure on a club enduing their worst start to a campaign since 1962-63.<\/p>\n
Sunday\u2019s derby defeat at the hands of rivals Manchester City was compounded by Newcastle on Wednesday, who comfortably won the repeat of February\u2019s Carabao Cup final.<\/p>\n
It underlined just how far things have gone off track since the sides met at Wembley, with United now having lost eight of their 15 matches in all competitions this term.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is not good enough and we know that,\u201d manager Ten Hag said. \u201cWe were in the game and then in a couple of minutes we are giving the game away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s below our standards and we know that all and we have to take responsibility for this.\u201d<\/p>\n

United have lost eight of their 15 matches in all competitions this season <\/p>\n
Manchester United still want to persevere with Erik ten Hag but the club are now at a grimly familiar point where results may take precedence over aims to persist with the manager, reports The Independent\u2019s<\/em> Chief Football Writer Miguel Delaney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n There is already a view from some within Old Trafford that the Dutch coach has that same beaten air that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and David Moyes had in the final weeks of their tenures.<\/p>\n The big question is whether Ten Hag can change results and performances. The big problem is that there has been no sign of how. United have gone beyond regression now.<\/p>\n Changes behind the scenes with the arrival of Sir Jim Ratcliffe as a minority owner could help Ten Hag, but time is running out to turn around fortunes on the pitch <\/p>\n Casemiro has been ruled out for several weeks with a hamstring injury that has added to Manchester United\u2019s problems, Richard Jolly reports.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Brazilian was hurt in the first half of Wednesday\u2019s 3-0 defeat to Newcastle, which came after he missed United\u2019s three previous matches with an ankle problem.<\/p>\n He is now set to miss the rest of United\u2019s November \u2013 when they face Fulham, FC Copenhagen, Luton, Everton and Galatasaray.<\/p>\n The 31-year-old, who has not played the full 90 minutes in a match for United since September, could be in a race against time for potentially tough games at the start of December, when United face Newcastle and Chelsea before Bournemouth, Bayern Munich and Liverpool.<\/p>\n His absence means loan signing Sofyan Amrabat could get an extended run as Erik ten Hag\u2019s defensive midfielder.<\/p>\n Fulham still have some injury issues in defence with Issa Diop, Tosin Adarabioyo and Kenny Tete all out. Joao Palhinha and Willian will be among those who return to the starting line-up after Wednesday\u2019s 3-1 win at Ipswich in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n Casemiro has been ruled out for several weeks with a hamstring injury picked up in Wednesday\u2019s 3-0 defeat to Newcastle. Raphael Varane is back with the squad but Victor Lindelof is a doubt due to illness, while Lisandro Martinez and Luke Shaw are confirmed absences from the defence.<\/p>\n Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford should return to the line-up after Ten Hag made seven changes for the defeat to Newcastle.<\/p>\n Predicted line-ups:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Bassey, Ream, Robinson; Palhinha, Reed, Iwobi; Reid, Jiminez, Willian<\/p>\n Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilon; Amrabat, McTominay, Eriksen; Fernandes, Hojlund, Rashford<\/p>\n When is Fulham vs Manchester United?<\/strong><\/p>\n The match will kick-off at 12:30pm GMT on Saturday 4 November at Craven Cottage, London.<\/p>\n How can I watch it?<\/strong><\/p>\n It will be shown live on TNT Sports 1, with coverage starting from 11am.

But with United having made a woeful start to the season, with five defeats already, Marco Silva\u2019s side have a precious opportunity.<\/p>\n United come into the fixture having suffered two heavy defeats at Old Trafford this week, first being thrashed by Manchester City in the derby before Newcastle ended their Carabao Cup defence in an abject 3-0 loss.<\/p>\n Defeat in the Manchester derby last weekend left United eight points off the top four already and although Ten Hag\u2019s position is considered to be safe for now, the pressure would only increase on the Dutchman should that gap stretch any wider.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nManchester United stand by Erik ten Hag \u2013 but has he passed the point of no return?<\/h3>\n
