INEOS Group controls the footballing side at Manchester United and reportedly holds a shortlist should Ruben Amorim be sacked. Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola are named as candidates, with Glasner emerging as the most talked-about option and reportedly keen to take the role. INEOS retains long-standing interest in Gareth Southgate but fears fan backlash. Sources indicate INEOS would not hesitate to act early. Ruben Amorim appeared extremely frustrated after a shock Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby and criticized his players. Glasner won the FA Cup and Community Shield with Palace, while Iraola improved Bournemouth and promotes attractive football.
We understand two of the names on the official shortlist are Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola, along with others. Glasner is the name currently being talked about the most within the board room and our understanding is that Glasner would be delighted with the opportunity to take the job at Old Trafford once it is available. There has been a long-standing interest in Gareth Southgate as well, but INEOS also have concerns about backlash from the club's fans over hiring the former England boss.
The question is when not if Ruben Amorim leaves Manchester United in months to come. Another confirmed that INEOS would not be afraid of taking the decision early if needed. The Portuguese tactician cut an extremely frustrated figure after last night's shock Carabao Cup exit to League Two side Grimsby. Just watch Amorim's post-match interview here as he lay into his players, hinting he needs to replace all 22 of them.
