The Executive Board was built by Sir Jim Ratcliffe since INEOS Group became a minority shareholder of Man United in February, and is expected to hold a regular board meeting on Tuesday. And Ten Hag's future could be on the agenda.
But those responsible for running the club's football operations - Ratcliffe, Dave Brailsford (INEOS sporting director), Omar Berrada ( Man United CEO), Dan Ashworth ( Man United sporting director) and Jason Wilcox ( Man United technical director) - are unlikely to make the decisions they definitely need to make.
Although Ten Hag has made two of the Red Devils' worst starts to a Premier League campaign in two consecutive seasons, how much responsibility does the former Ajax boss have to bear?
Bad decisions, both on and off the pitch, have left Man United behind their title contenders Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal.
Where is the biggest football club in England and the 20-time champion wrong?
Ten Hag's position has been the subject of intense speculation for more than a year, with results and achievements poor in the face of Ratcliffe's £1.25 billion investment. Last season, the team finished 8th, with a negative goal difference, and INEOS has a plan to replace Ten Hag.
Ratcliffe's team has negotiated with Thomas Tuchel, Roberto de Zerbi, Kieran McKenna and Mauricio Pochettino, while Gareth Southgate, Gary O'Neil and Graham Potter are also considered. However, Man United's surprise win in the FA Cup final against Man City in May helped Ten Hag keep his job.
It took a few weeks for the club to confirm that Ten Hag would not only not be sacked but also have his contract extended for another year. Ratcliffe's team took the easy way out. And the start of this season has only proven how wrong that decision was.
To soften the blow, Ratcliffe would not want to sack a manager without Berrada and Ashworth at Old Trafford. Both are on trial after leaving their previous positions at Man City and Newcastle.
But the decision to keep Ten Hag led to United's worst performance in 25 years.
Man United have a history of supporting struggling coaches. That reputation has come since fighting calls to sack Sir Alex Ferguson when Man United seemed to have gone nowhere in the 1989-1990 season. This was Man United's worst start since that campaign, and they must be hoping Ten Hag will make a similar spectacular change.
Ferguson has stuck and brought 2 decades of success, making Man United the biggest and most successful team in England.
The Ferguson story is said to have helped David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keep their jobs at Old Trafford. Their downfall was inevitable long before they were sacked.
But if Man United are waiting for the same thing Ferguson said to repeat, they are making many other mistakes and will keep this team stuck in place for many more years.
