Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal did not offer to resign at the weekend, despite reports to the contrary.
Van Gaal, 64, was said to have told executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward he would be prepared to quit following Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Southampton.
A source said no such conversation took place.
Van Gaal returned to United's training ground on Tuesday as they begin preparations for Friday's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Derby County.
Woodward, meanwhile, has club commitments in London rather than north-west England.
United are maintaining their long-established position of refusing to publicly discuss Van Gaal's future.
