Ten Hag was speaking after his team opened the door to Liverpool for the second time in four days by making a mistake.

In spite of United's 1-0 loss against West Ham on Sunday, they still have a game in hand on Jurgen Klopp's team.

It indicates that Liverpool is on a six-match winning streak while Ten Hag's team has dropped back-to-back league games.

When asked if Liverpool's run was affecting his squad, Ten Hag said: "It's not about Liverpool; it's about us because if you look at the table, we have everything in our hands.

"If we bring our performance and we bring our standards we will win games. We don't have to look to others, we have to look to ourselves, and we have to find a way to get back to our levels.

"Nothing changes. We could have made it easier if we had won, but we need three wins in four games. Everything is in our hands. We have to believe."

Thus, Liverpool has won six straight games while Ten Hag's team has dropped back-to-back league contests.
