It is not just a case of like [with] some of the other managers where it has been a little bit toxic at times, the boys are firmly behind the manager and that is the way it will stay. <\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/12\/11\/13\/7fd1896adbab4a8aa9a331e384ab434cY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzAyMzg1OTE3-2.74826261.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/12\/11\/11\/1838270125.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/12\/10\/18\/newFile.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have got an amazing coaching staff as well so it can get lost in translation with what the players think and what is said behind closed doors. We just want to do well for the football club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ten Hag said he was not contemplating the prospect of an early exit even though United are bottom of Group A, behind Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen, who face each other in Denmark. United need them to draw to stand a chance of finishing second behind Bayern.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/12\/07\/12\/552bf5701fa97e937b77b36ccbb9e16eY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNzAyMDM1NTE2-2.74781445.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Scott McTominay insists United players are fully behind Erik ten Hag <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I know is I never think in negative scenarios, we think positive,\u201d the Dutchman said. \u201cWe know what to do.
