Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is set to have his input in vice-chairman Ed Woodward's replacement.
Woodward will quit as executive vice-chairman at the end of the year in the aftermath of botched attempts to join the European Super League.
Solskjaer said: "We have to deal with Ed's departure. I've not been involved in discussions over a successor but if they ask my opinion, I'll voice it on what we need. I'm sure the club is capable of moving forward.
"It's important we employ the right man. We can't employ on sentiment but to have Man Utd's best interests at heart, that's one of the criteria of course."
Solskjaer continued: "I'm not the one who writes the job description - my job is to take care of results. But whoever (comes in), I'm hopeful I can have a good working relationship with and I can provide results.
"I've had an open and good relationship with the owners and they've been very supportive of me. We have shown that in the players we've signed that they're committed to improving the club.
"I think the owners of every club that signed up for this proposal have got a job on their hands (to appease fans), of course they have. We've had an apology from Joel and I think that's important.
"He's told us how committed he is to helping us going forward. Unity and everyone coming together and working together is the best way forward."
