Despite the crisis at Old Trafford, the Dutch boss has vowed to fight on.
"I understand when the results are not there it is logical they are questioning that," he said after his side's defeat to Newcastle.
"But I am confident I can do it. At this moment we are in a bad place and I take responsibility for it.
"But I am a fighter. I see it as a challenge."
