A defiant Erik ten Hag insisted he is a “fighter” and possesses the confidence to reverse Manchester United’s fortunes after Newcastle knocked the holders out of the Carabao Cup.
This was United’s second successive 3-0 home defeat, after Sunday’s loss to Manchester City, which had not happened since October 1962. Ten Hag’s side have also lost five of their opening 10 matches at Old Trafford – the first time United have done so since 1930.
