Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is \u201c100 per cent sure\u201d manager Erik ten Hag can turn the club\u2019s fortunes around.<\/p>\n

Former Ajax boss Ten Hag has come under increasing pressure as United bid to put their worst start to a season since 1962-63 behind them.<\/p>\n

McTominay insisted all the hard work by the players and coaching staff behind the scenes will soon start to pay off.<\/p>\n

The Scotland international told the club\u2019s official website: \u201cThere\u2019s more that goes into it when you\u2019re not playing well and you\u2019re not doing so well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know the fans don\u2019t want to hear that, they want to see results and performances and I think they want to see the players smiling and happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not quite happening at the moment, but I\u2019m 100 per cent sure that the manager can put that into practice and it can come off. I\u2019m sure of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

After successive 3-0 home defeats to Manchester City and Newcastle, United play at Fulham on Saturday and face Champions League group rivals Copenhagen in Denmark next Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to win, that\u2019s always the thought process,\u201d McTominay said. \u201cObviously my thoughts are with the fans at the minute because we\u2019re not playing well and it\u2019s difficult for them.<\/p>\n

Obviously the fans will hear the generic response of \u2018we\u2019ve got to stick together\u2019, but it\u2019s true<\/p>\n

\u201cThey pay their hard-earned money every week to come and watch us and the least we can do is play well and win football matches.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not quite happening at the moment, sometimes that\u2019s football, but I feel like for us in that dressing room we have to stay tight and keep a clear head, and we can\u2019t get too emotional with everything that surrounds us. We\u2019ve got to block it all out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ten Hag has urged his players to \u201cstand up\u201d and work \u201cshoulder by shoulder\u201d and McTominay agreed a united dressing room is key to halting their slide.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows that we\u2019re not in our best period at the minute. We have to stick together, that\u2019s the most important thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously the fans will hear the generic response of \u2018we\u2019ve got to stick together\u2019, but it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone wants this football club to succeed and we have to pull together and try to be as good with each other as possible in the dressing room to get those results going our way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like we\u2019ve got more than enough talent in the changing room to do that and whenever you look at the boys who are playing, but obviously something isn\u2019t quite clicking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s up to the manager and the players to fix that and I\u2019m 100 per cent confident that we will.\u201d<\/p>\n
