Scott McTominay has acknowledged that the atmosphere at Manchester United became toxic under recent managers but believes it is not repeating itself under Erik ten Hag.

The Dutchman is facing pressure as United has experienced a downturn in form, losing five of their last 10 matches.

McTominay, who played under various managers at United, including Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Ralf Rangnick, thinks the atmosphere has improved under Ten Hag despite recent challenges, such as a 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth.

He said: "It is not the case 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 be all and end all. I have said in many other interviews that it's the way it will remain.

"We have got amazing coaching staff as well. It is the players' responsibility first and foremost, the players know that as well."

Scott McTominay acknowledges that Manchester United has experienced inconsistency this season, with notable wins against Everton and Chelsea but also concerning defeats. Despite the challenging results, McTominay is determined to repay the faith shown by manager Erik ten Hag. The midfielder is focused on helping the team regain its form and address the recent setbacks.

He added: "We are inconsistent as a team, we have not been naive to that.

"The schedule has been relentless but we can't use that as an excuse. As a group we have to come together and find out the answers to that.

"Faith in me from the manager has been massive and you want to repay that as much as you can.

"In the life of a footballer you will always have ups and downs — it is not always sunshine and rainbows. I have had an opportunity and want to do what I can to support the team."

Manchester United faces a crucial match against Bayern on Tuesday and must secure a victory while hoping for a draw between FC Copenhagen and Galatasaray to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League. Failing to win would result in United not even qualifying for the Europa League.
