The boss is adamant that hard work, togetherness and new blood will help overturn a winless start to the Premier League season after the defeats to Brighton and Brentford.
“We are, as a team, in a difficult process,” Ten Hag admitted to Sky Sports.
“We expected a different start. It seems like what happened in the past, last season, we have to change that very quickly.
“We need new players, we need quality players and we will do everything to convince them to come.”
Ten Hag acknowledged United’s recent struggle to overcome challenging moments after his side were beaten by the Bees.
