After six weeks in charge, Jack Ross' future at the club is not in question, according to Tony Asghar.
Only goal difference keeps United off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership after three consecutive losses and they were humiliated in Europe.
There were rumors that Ross had quit after Saturday's loss.
"Jack Ross is a top manager, a top man, wants to be here and has a fight in him to make things better and we will continue to work shoulder to shoulder to make sure that happens," Asghar said.
We don't have knee- jerk reactions to outside influences. We can't allow bad results or performances to change who we are as a group.
We have come through similar situations before. We had a poor run and finished fourth. Jack is very clear about how to make things better and we are all very supportive of that.
The last-16 of the League Cup will be played between United and Livingston. They have trips to Motherwell and Rangers after that.
Asghar insists that he and owner Mark Ogren have not discussed the possibility of United falling at the bottom of the division.
After four games, he said, we're not talking about the possibility of being demoted. You are the first to talk to me about it. When the sun is still shining and the summer transfer window is still open, we don't need to discuss that.
While Asghar will be at his desk with a pizza and a can of Irn-Bru late into the evening on deadline day next Thursday, he doesn't think United will do any more business this summer.
The club confirmed the signing of Sadat Anaku, a 21-year-old Ugandan forward, on Thursday.
The most recent figures show a wages to turnover ratio of 132%) in the period until June 2021.
Incoming fees for Lawrence, Kerr, Jeando, Jamie, and Louis are not included in the accounts. They don't take into account the business interruption insurance pay-out that happened after the swine flu.
There's been a lot of narrative around the finances and, while I'm not an economist, we moved out 18 players last season and brought in international players as part of a smaller squad. We sold a number of players for fees last year.
We are not going to overspending at this club. The model we have is sustainable.
There are going to be challenges because we have had to turn a Championship squad into a Premiership one. The snipers will stop talking about it once the accounts are finished.
