Erik ten Hag feels Manchester United's hierarchy would have told him if his job was under threat.
Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe was at Villa Park for the 0-0 Premier League draw with Aston Villa, played against mounting pressure on Ten Hag for a run that now extends to five matches without a win, including the woeful three-goal home defeat by Tottenham a week ago.
Ratcliffe was emotionless on the final whistle, with the only noticeable interaction from the travelling executives a conversation between chief executive Omar Berrada and sporting director Dan Ashworth following a game that leaves United 14th in the table.
