Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag criticizes media over dismissal speculations in Premier League.

"Ten Hag criticized the media for spreading falsehoods and fabricating stories, accusing some of creating unnecessary noise."

"I told this before the break. Several journalists probably didn't believe me because I see the reports.

"But internal in the club it's quiet. Of course, we are discussing, that we are unhappy with the position where we are and how we have to turn the corner, what has to happen, so what should be strategy to turn this corner."

Manchester United have made the worst start to a league season for 35 years, with just eight points from a possible 21. They lost heavily to Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur on home turf while also being on the losing side in the away game against Brighton. Their Europa League journey has also not gone according to plan with draws against Twente and Porto. Pressure is slowly mounting on the Dutch manager Erik ten Hag, who insists he has still got the backing of club management.

United are back in action over the weekend as they face Brentford at Old Trafford on Saturday. A win will be a minimum requirement for the hosts as they look to change their fortunes ahead of a crucial run in domestic and European matches.
