Manchester: Erik ten Hag said it is "up to the fans" whether they remain patient after Manchester United's winless Premier League run extended to four games with their draw at Bournemouth.
Captain Bruno Fernandes scored both goals as United twice came from behind to deny the hosts, who led through Dominic Solanke's opener before Justin Kluivert gave them a deserved half-time lead, BBC sports reported.
United, whose hopes of securing European football were further dented, dropped one place to seventh following Newcastle United's4-0 win over Tottenham earlier on Saturday.
On the need for patience from supporters as Ten Hag attempts to turn United's fortunes around, the manager told Sky Sports: "It is up to them but it is the truth”.
He added, "At this moment with all the problems we have, we play to our levels. We can play very good when everyone is on top form but we have to do it for the whole 90 minutes."
When later asked about the potential for United to record their worst Premier League finish should they drop below seventh, Ten Hag said the question was "not important for this moment" before walking out of his media conference.
