The leader of Old Trafford refused to specify who will succeed to Jose Mourinho permanently
Manchester United executive vice president, Ed Woodward, said there would be no updates on finding a new permanent director during the season.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has enjoyed a good season since taking office after Jose Mourinho was sacked in December, winning 10 wins and drawing one of his 11 home matches.
His invincible start came to an end after a 2-0 defeat in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford on Tuesday, but Solskjaer remains a serious candidate for this full-time position.

Mauricio Pochettino of Tottenham is also expected to be under review, but Juventus head coach Mbadimiliano Allegri and former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane are also linked.
Woodward praised the work of Solskjaer and his team behind the scenes as United announced a record 208.6 million pounds sterling earnings for their second-quarter financial results in 2019 on Thursday.
However, during a conference call with investors, he refused to go into the details of their management projects.

"I will not go into [that], "he said." We communicated around December about what we were doing, the arrival of Ole and what was going on.
"The next communication will be when we have something to announce about the manager, we will not be doing any updates along the way."
It is also believed that United is still eager to appoint a football director to work with the next full-time director, in order to improve the working relationship between the board and the first team.
Former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and RB Leipzig's sports director, Paul Mitchell, are two of the names badociated with the new role at Old Trafford.
Woodward, however, insists that United's continued investment in the club's "overall structure" is more important than any nomination.
"A lot has been written about it," he said. "Watching our structures and how we should strengthen all areas of the club is something we do continually.

"We have made a lot of changes to the football team in the last four or five years, especially in the academy, where we have significantly increased our investments and whose quality we are seeing.
"On the football side, we have invested in recruitment, player care, [there is] ongoing investment in facilities, medicine and sports science, the evolution continues.
"This is not necessarily visible from the outside and in some ways you get a multiyear yield later [rather] that an immediate impact.
"The evolution of football is continuing, and with regard to the overall structure, we are looking at that and we could strengthen it."
