This week we were definitely not happy with our standards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Today we improved. Everyone knows that. Every game you have to bring that level and attitude. To show hunger, passion and desire.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/16\/77400193-0-Man_United_enjoyed_the_celebrations_as_captain_s_goal_put_an_end-a-79_1699114218874.jpg\" height=\"390\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Erik ten Hag insisted that his side remain fully behind him after their late win against Fulham<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/16\/77402147-0-image-a-83_1699114446447.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>There had been pressure mounting at Old Trafford on Ten Hag after successive 3-0 defeats<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;That can be the foundation. It\u2019s a good win, with a solid performance. But we know every game we have to win. I knew they are playing (for me).<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s a good dressing room that fights for each other. They know the standards.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes\u2019 position as captain has been questioned in recent weeks but Ten Hag said: \u2018So often from the moment I made him captain he has done this.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He sets the example, he is absolutely the example. He is taking responsibility all the time. He always wants the ball and wants to create.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ten Hag insisted Harry Maguire was not suffering with concussion after receiving lengthy treatment for a hefty blow to the head in the opening minutes.<\/p>\n<p>United say Maguire was assessed for concussion but cleared to carry on. The England defender appeared to receive further head-related treatment in the second half, but that was due to hand injury and not related to the first-half blow.<\/p>\n<p>Maguire produced an imperious performance to emerge as one of United\u2019s heroes, and Ten Hag &#8211; who revealed Marcus Rashford missed the game after complaining of pain following Friday\u2019s training session &#8211; added: \u2018He was playing a massive game a very good performance. He showed leadership in and out of possession. I\u2019m very pleased.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Fulham boss Marco Silva said: \u2018Frustration. In our dressing room, it&#8217;s disappointing what happened in the last minute of the game.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/16\/77400413-0-image-a-82_1699114402762.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Te Dutchman claimed that captain Bruno Fernandes is taking responsibility and is the &#8216;example&#8217; to his team-mates<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/04\/16\/77402087-0-image-a-80_1699114317019.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Marco Silva admitted his disappointment at the late timing of Man United&#8217;s winning goal<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We were on the front foot, we created our chances.
