Ten Hag quashes talk of 'malaise' at United

Erik ten Hag says his United team can defend but the players must take individual responsibility

00:00It seems like there's a malaise, like a deep-rooted permanent issue in your team

00:04that you just cannot stop. Is that fair? Because that's what we're all witnessing.

00:09You go back last season, the season before, I think it's one win in ten

00:13games in Europe now under you. That seems like a deep-rooted problem that you just

00:18cannot seem to solve. I think in the first five games of the season we had

00:24three clean sheets, so I wouldn't address this in that way. So we can defend in a

00:32good way as a team. This team is capable of doing it, but they have to do it

00:37consistent, and they have to do it all consistent. And when one, two, three

00:42players switching off, then it's a problem. And that is what we have to

00:48solve. And we just start the season, so we have time to solve this

00:54issue, but it has to go quickly. We can't wait so long, and players have to

01:01take their responsibility in such defending moments.
