Erik ten Hag has urged Manchester United to install an executive team that can deliver his transfer targets this summer, sending a clear message that he expects to stay as manager.
It's understood that Ineos remain undecided over Ten Hag's position at Old Trafford, but acknowledge he has been let down by a failing system at the club.
While Ten Hag privately accepts there are no guarantees over the future for him and his coaching staff until new director of football Dan Ashworth takes over, the Dutchman is under the impression that he will keep his job.
