"Glasner, 51, has impressed since arriving at Palace in 2024, leading them to their first major trophy by winning the Football Association Challenge Cup (FA Cup) last season. The Palace boss, who is out of contract at the end of the season, said last month that talks over a potential new deal at Selhurst Park were on hold. Speaking on the eve of his side's home game against high-flying Aston Villa, he was evasive when asked about the United job."
"I'm not allowed to bet, he said. My contract has one paragraph [that says] I'm not allowed to bet. I don't look at it. Glasner was asked whether it would be wise to back him to be United's next manager. I also can't give insider information because also I would be breaking my contract, he said with a smile. I'm Crystal Palace manager."
"You can win trophies and six months later you aren't the manager there anymore, so I think if you see the length of a contract it doesn't mean anything about the future, he said. Even if I sign a new contract, you could ask me every day, What's the future?' Ruben Amorim said he had 18 months left in his press conference, and he's not the manager anymore. There's one situation that keeps you in your job when you're a manager this is being successful."
Oliver Glasner is among bookmakers' favourites to replace Ruben Amorim following Amorim's sacking. Glasner led Crystal Palace to their first major trophy by winning the FA Cup and is out of contract at the end of the season, with talks over a new deal reportedly on hold. Glasner said his contract forbids betting and prevents him from providing insider information, and he refused to talk about other clubs. He argued that the length of a contract does not guarantee future security and emphasised that consistent success is the main factor that keeps managers in their jobs.
