Erik ten Hag called on Manchester United's board to keep their trust in him because his achievements have proven that he is the right person to rebuild the struggling club.
Ten Hag is under pressure after a very unstable start to the season where the "Red Devils" started with high hopes, when last season, the Dutch coach helped Man United win their first trophy in 6 years.
Having won the League Cup, reached the FA Cup final and finished third in the Premier League, Ten Hag is expected to return Man United to the position of a team that can challenge for the Premier League title.
But instead, last Saturday's 0-1 loss to Newcastle was Man United's 10th defeat in 21 matches in all competitions. They are five points behind the Premier League top four.
Tomorrow morning, December 7 (Vietnam time), Man United will host Chelsea, plunging deeper into the stormy December match schedule. They are also facing the risk of being eliminated from the Champions League when they face Bayern Munich in the final match of the group stage next week.
In addition, it is reported that a part of the Man United squad has become disappointed with his intense training sessions and strict discipline.
And Ten Hag has appeared, facing the media, asserting that he will eventually prove that the Glazer family was right to hire him last year.
He said: "There will always be difficult times in every journey. We are on the right track.
I know we will get where we want. Because... see my profile.
Every place I go, every season I achieve my goals, so if we stick together, stick to the plan and strategy, the team will get where we want."
Ten Hag has led the Go Ahead Eagles and Utrecht clubs before rising to Ajax and moving to Old Trafford.
The 53-year-old has won three championships during his time at Ajax, the Dutch giants he also led to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.
When asked how long it will take for Man United to return to the top, Ten Hag said: First of all, I cant say that at this club we will wait 2 or 3 years.
At this club, there are demands and standards to ensure you win every match.
I demand that my team, my players win every match. No matter who the opponent is, and I will stick with that. That took us a long way last year.
I don't want to change that spirit because it will lose the culture of the team."
"We are still together"
Despite recent information, Ten Hag believes he has received full support from the players to enter another big week.
I never thought they would not (support me) because I knew they could have eliminated me against Fulham or Burnley if it were another situation, he said.
Of course, negativity is never good. You have to be careful, so that it does not deploy energy.
But I don't care because I know, and all the players know, we are the biggest club in the world, or one of the biggest clubs, you know, will get a lot of attention.
We were there together. You can't work alone. All together in that boat".
