Erik ten Hag claimed he is a fighter who is up for the scrap to save his job at Manchester United. <\/p>\n
The Old Trafford boss watched his side be humiliated as Newcastle dumped them out of the Carabao Cup last night. The Magpies handed them back-to-back 3-0 defeats after a Manchester derby drubbing on Sunday by City.<\/p>\n
Ten Hag said: "I am a fighter and I know it is not always going up and we have a lot of setbacks this season. But also you have to deal with it and that is never an excuse, I have said that before I know when there are setbacks the routines are not the same but even then you have to get results.<\/p>\n

"I understand it when the results are not there it is also a logical process, there are questions but I am confident. I did it at all my clubs and also last year here but at this moment we are in a bad place. I take responsibility for it. I am a fighter." <\/p>\n
Miguel Almiron, Lewis Hall and Joe Willock got the goals to give Newcastle their biggest win at Old Trafford for 93 years and booked the Magpies a quarter-final spot. United were left humiliated on their own patch as they lost five of their first 10 home games for the first time since 1930.<\/p>\n

Ten Hag added: "We don\u2019t give the performance and I feel sorry for the fans, it is below our standards and we have to put it right."<\/p>\n
This was also the first time Eddie Howe has won at Old Trafford as Newcastle got their biggest win here in 93 years. Howe said: "I personally have always found it a difficult ground and Newcastle the same so another thing to be really proud of the commitment shown by everyone."<\/p>\n
