Manchester United are eyeing a move to appoint Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner if they sack Ruben Amorim in the coming days or weeks.
Glasner, described as 'phenomenal' by Breaking The Lines, has enjoyed an impressive spell with Palace, guiding them to FA Cup victory last season. As a result, Palace qualified for European football, and he's already being hailed as one of their best managers in recent history, delivering a major trophy to Selhurst Park.
Manchester United could be in the hunt for a new manager over the next few weeks due to the disappointing performances under Amorim. Although it might appear to be reactionary after a few poor results this season, Amorim's side failed to perform for the whole of the 2024/2025 campaign, with the Portuguese manager taking over from Erik ten Hag early in the season.

According to a report from Caught Offside, Manchester United have discussed the prospect of appointing Crystal Palace boss Glasner, with Amorim's sacking now looking 'inevitable'. It's claimed that INEOS won't be afraid of making the decision early if needed, and it's looking likely that he could lose his job in the not-so-distant future.
It's no surprise that the pressure is mounting up on the United boss, especially after they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup to Grimsby Town on Wednesday night. The Red Devils also lost to Arsenal on the opening day of the Premier League season, before following that up with a poor performance away to Fulham, where they managed to secure a point in a 1-1 draw.
