After the Red Devils' heartbreaking 3-0 loss to rivals Manchester City on Sunday, Arsene Wenger declared that Manchester United was a team that had "no hope" remaining.
Speaking after the match, Ten Hag told Sky Sports as reported by the Sun, "We know it's not good enough. We have to take responsibility for it.
“I have to take responsibility for it. I feel sorry for the fans. It was below our standards and we have to put it right.
"We have to recover from it and we have to do it quickly. Saturday is the next game [against Fulham] and we have to raise our standards. This is not good enough."
However, the situation for the under-pressure United manager could become worse as five of their upcoming six games in all competitions will be played away from home.
Ten Hag's next objective is to recover from their loss and bounce back against Fulham on Saturday before travelling to Denmark to play Copenhagen in the Champions League.
