Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is confident of Dougie Freedman's commitment.
The sporting director is being linked with Manchester United.
Glasner told Sky Sports: "It shows me what I was thinking here [at Palace] there is a great sporting director and a great person.
"This is how I see Dougie after two weeks and a lot of talks with him. He knows all the players all over the world, he is a fantastic guy.
"He is a great person and a sporting director. We will start (planning next season's squad) next week. The feeling that I have is we will plan the squad for next year together and we will work together for a long time."
