What I could see them doing is using Manthey (or someone else) as a shell for what it effectively an in house operation.
That would make more sense if Manthey was a shell for an inhouse team but I still gotta wonder-why Manthey? Why not someone else with LMP experience?

Manthey in WEC next year? Bring it on! Should've happened this year instead of wasting their time in GT Open.
