Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has urged Sir Jim Ratcliffe to have patience with the first team.
Ratcliffe is a new investor at United and is in control of the club's football operations.
While the British media has suggested that a change of manager may be in the offing, Ten Hag hopes that he gets more time.
Ten Hag said: I think you need to follow the process. We have good young players coming through. They are developing very well in their progress.
We are in a good way, a good direction and we need to make the next steps. Don't interrupt this process."
I have high standards and I would be disappointed if we didn't qualify," added the Dutchman on the Champions League.
I know it will be very difficult because we are not in a good position.
But we want to win every game, that is the standard we have here among each other. We will keep going and keep believing in those standards. That will be the approach in every game. We will keep fighting until the end. I know we are not in a good position and we have to catch up. Also, I know we have had a lot of problems so I am a realistic man also.
In a competition that is so competitive and the teams are so close, you need the players to be available. If you have to make compromises your levels will drop and you will drop points.
If you play in a consistent team, your levels will go up. When you bring in the best players in your squad, you will collect more points and that is a fact.
So I will be realistic but nevertheless I will keep fighting in every game and I will demand a win in every game because we are Man United and we have to win every game."
