Thriving Premier League manager put on spot regarding Man United job, he can’t rule it out

Whilst Ruben Amorim faces the monumental task of turning Manchester United’s fortunes around, numerous coaches will continue to be tipped to replace him.

One being Oliver Glasner, who’s enjoying a stellar spell at the helm of Crystal Palace following his appointment in February 2024.

The Austrian coach has granted the Selhurst Park faithful with memories to last a lifetime over the last year, most notably delivering Palace their first-ever major honour in the form of the FA Cup last season.

They overturned Manchester City 1-0 in the final at Wembley, in turn confirming Pep Guardiola’s first trophyless season since his maiden campaign at City in 2017.

Then, in August, Palace pipped Premier League champions Liverpool to glory in the Community Shield, overseeing a 2-2 draw before reigning victorious in the penalty shootout.

Fast-forward to now, and Palace’s 2-1 league win over Liverpool on Saturday extended their unbeaten streak to a remarkable 18 games in all competitions, making it no surprise that Glasner is being touted as one option to take the reins from Amorim at Old Trafford.

What has Glasner said about a new venture?

He was pressed on the prospect, too, with Kicker asking him: “There are a lot of rumours circulating about you again. From Manchester United in the short term to all sorts of top clubs after 2026. Are these reports annoying or amusing you, and can you reveal when you and Palace plan to discuss your future again?”

Glasner replied: “I follow all the rumours – and that’s all there is – neutrally and completely relaxed. Focusing on the daily work with my players and coaches, and trying to enjoy it as much as possible.”

Understandably, the former Eintracht Frankfurt boss chose to remain tight-lipped on the matter, although the fact that he avoided commenting on a potential contract renewal may raise the eyebrows of Palace fans.

He is contracted to the South London outfit until the end of the term, with reports suggesting the board are doing their utmost to extend his deal beyond the summer of 2026.
