A potential list of managerial candidates for Manchester United might feature Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace, although public support remains with Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim.
Rumors suggest that the Eagles’ manager is unsatisfied with the club’s trajectory following a less-than-stellar summer transfer period.
Glasner has gone without a loss in his previous 18 matches as Palace’s coach, leading the team to victories in the FA Cup and Community Shield earlier in the year.
Oliver Glasner yet to sign new deal at Crystal Palace amid exit rumours
The Austrian is well-regarded within coaching communities and skillfully managed a difficult conclusion to the summer transfer window, which included Palace’s loss of Ebere Eze to Arsenal.
Team captain Marc Guehi was also nearing a lucrative transfer to Liverpool until the agreement fell through at the last minute, with Glasner reportedly having a role in the transfer deadline occurrences.
According to BBC Sport, figures at Old Trafford hold Glasner in high regard, and they may need to make a decision regarding Ruben Amorim’s position this weekend if the squad is defeated by Sunderland, who are both newly-promoted and playing well.
Glasner has not put pen to paper on a revised deal at Selhurst Park, which was proposed to the Austrian during the past summer, as doubts over his long-term plans intensify.
The article states that the chance of Glasner agreeing to a new contract is minimal, but Palace’s executives are committed to retaining their much sought-after manager.
Palace are scheduled to play Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday night in the UEFA Europa Conference League.
