Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag remains confident results will improve.
United host Newcastle in the fourth round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday on the back of Sunday's derby defeat to Manchester City.
"There is no point in feeling sorry for ourselves," said Ten Hag. "I continue to believe in these players.
"At Manchester United, every game involves high stakes. Every single day, there is pressure on everybody involved with this club, but those demands and standards are a challenge which we must always meet head-on.
"While this has not been the start to the season that we had all hoped for, I am certain that we have the talent and attitude as a collective to move in the right direction.
"I believe that it is only a matter of time before we are showing our true selves. It will come, I am certain."
