Erik Ten Hag has made it clear what exactly Manchester United's problem is.

Manchester United have produced a reel of underperformances in recent weeks with a 3-0 battering at home to Tottenham being the latest of their misery.

Bruno Fernandes got sent off in that match after a rough challenge on James Maddison that the referee deemed illegal and dangerous. He is now set to miss 3 Premier League games.

At the end of that game, Erik Ten Hag spoke to the media and said that he needed to understand and feel the defeat in order to why the defeat happened.

During an interview with Sky Sports Premier League, Erik Ten Hag explained how he manages to identify these problems in the games that Manchester United lose.

"It by watching back watching back the video from the game and see where are the problems and then find solutions to the problems".

He went on to explain that he needs only one moment to spot the problems. "One time and sometime you scroll a little bit back to find more understanding to find a deeper understanding but only one time and I have my view."

Erik Ten Hag's conclusion after watching Manchester United's home thrashing videos was that the team's problem was bad performances and a weak belief.

"It's bad performance and I have to address these problems and give solutions to the team. The most important is to keep the belief stay in the game and keep belief. That is the most important message we have to give because if you lose your faith you lose everything."

Erik Ten Hag said that Manchester United's current situation is a shared responsibility although he acknowledged that it was his job to solve the problems that he identifies on the pitch. "We are in there together."

He took responsibility as a manager saying, "When the players have a bad performance I'm in the same boat I haven't done my job great because they didn't play the way I expected them to do so e are in this together."
