"Glasner will know what sort of backing he can expect to get in January and in the summer. If it's not to the level he's going to demand, he might think he's taken Palace as far as he can, but without the support from the board, what more can he do? Then, if a Man United or somebody like that comes along, he might be tempted to make that move."
"Manchester United's rocky start to the 202526 season has intensified speculation around manager Ruben Amorim's future. While the Portuguese coach still commands support within the club hierarchy, whispers have emerged about possible replacements should things not improve. One name frequently mentioned is Oliver Glasner, currently at the helm of Crystal Palace. But despite admiration for the Austrian, insiders reveal that United have still not made up their mind on the future of Amorim."
Manchester United began the 2025–26 season poorly, increasing pressure on manager Ruben Amorim. Some club figures continue to support Amorim, but alternatives are being considered if results do not improve. Oliver Glasner's profile rose after joining Crystal Palace in February 2024 and delivering Palace's first FA Cup and a Community Shield. Glasner is praised for tactical acumen, getting the best from underdog squads, and exceeding expectations with limited resources. Former scout Mick Brown suggested Glasner might leave if Palace do not provide sufficient backing. Certain United board members, including Sir Jim Ratcliffe, reportedly admire Glasner's work.
