McTominay insists Man Utd squad remain fully behind Ten Hag<\/h3>\n

Scott McTominay insists the Manchester United dressing room is behind under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag in a staunch public defence. The Red Devils midfielder has backed Ten Hag to turn the club’s fortunes around after fighting his way back into his plans this season.<\/p>\n

United host Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night, knowing defeat at Old Trafford would confirm elimination from Europe.<\/p>\n

A fourth-place finish in Group A would intensify the scrutiny Ten Hag has fallen under this season, already rife after an early Carabao Cup exit and seven defeats in 16 Premier League games.<\/p>\n

But McTominay has leapt to the defence of his manager after somewhat surprisingly becoming a crucial part of his plans this term.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old has stressed the current dressing room atmosphere isn’t “toxic” like under his predecessors, pointing at Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick.<\/p>\n

“The players feel that responsibility [to support the manager]. I feel we have big characters in the dressing room,” McTominay explained.<\/p>\n

“Maybe with some of the other managers in the past [the atmosphere in the dressing room] has been toxic at times, but that is not the case now.<\/p>\n

“The boys are fully behind the manager. That’s the be-all and end-all. We just want to do well for the football club, and it is as simple as that.”<\/p>\n

Reports after the 1-0 defeat at Newcastle United earlier this month stated that Ten Hag was facing a battle to keep his dressing room on his side.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports even claimed that the 53-year-old had already lost around 50 per cent of his squad, which McTominay helped squash by scoring a brace in an impressive team performance to beat Chelsea last week.<\/p>\n

But Saturday’s 3-0 home defeat to AFC Bournemouth opened the door for doubts to creep in again, with daunting tests against Bayern and Liverpool to come.<\/p>\n
