"Our sources tell us Glasner is the favourite for the Manchester United job after an impressive stint at Selhurst Park, and it's now confirmed that he'll be available. The Austrian tactician is one of a number of candidates Man Utd will consider, but he's got great pedigree having succeeded in the Premier League already. Glasner has turned Palace into a far more consistent top half side, and most notably helped the south London club win silverware for the very first time last season."
"I had a meeting with Steve [Parish] in October, the international break. We had a very long talk, and I told him I will not sign a new contract. We agreed at the time it was the best to keep it between us. It's the best that we could do that and keep it confidential for three months. But now it's important to have clarity, and we had a very busy schedule so that's why we didn't want to talk about it."
Oliver Glasner has confirmed he will depart Crystal Palace this summer after telling the club months ago he will not sign a new contract. He met with chairman Steve Parish in October and agreed to keep the decision confidential while the team maintained a busy schedule. Glasner transformed Palace into a more consistent top-half side and delivered the club's first major trophy with a 1-0 FA Cup final win over Manchester City. He is a leading candidate for the Manchester United job amid United's manager search, with Michael Carrick serving as interim manager.
