According to a report by Football Insider, Oliver Glasner is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Re Devils are combing the managerial market after parting ways with Ruben Amorim this week. So, the 51-year-old Crystal Palace boss has emerged as a target. The latest report has revealed that the Austrian tactician “would very much welcome the opportunity to manage Manchester United” this year.
Oliver Glasner has established himself as one of the most accomplished managers in the Premier League since joining Crystal Palace midway through the 2023/24 season. Born in Scharding, he spent nearly his entire professional career with SV Ried and hung up his boots in 2011. The well-travelled manager rejoined his boyhood club after entering the managerial sphere.
Since then, the Austrian tactician has seen his stock skyrocket after successful stints with LASK, VfL Wolfsburg, and Eintracht Frankfurt. The spell with Die Adler saw him take the club to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in over six decades after guiding the Bundesliga outfit to the UEFA Europa League title. However, Glasner has become a household name during his ongoing spell with Crystal Palace.
While the Eagles are not a high-profile club, Glasner’s stock has soared in the last two years after guiding them to their first-ever trophy. The South London club backed that up by winning the FA Community Shield, enabling Glasner to become a hot property in the managerial market.
Oliver Glasner’s exceptional performance as the Crystal Palace manager has helped him rise in prominence in the managerial market. Recent reports have linked the 51-year-old with Liverpool amid rising uncertainties surrounding Arne Slot’s long-term future at Old Trafford. However, Manchester United may soon pursue the Crystal Palace boss.
The Red Devils have sacked Ruben Amorim after reaching a point of no return. So, they are now scouring the market for a new head coach, with several candidates, including Glasner, emerging on their wishlist. The latest report has boosted Manchester United’s prospects, as the Crystal Palace boss “would very much welcome the opportunity to manage Manchester United” this year.
Recent reports have claimed that Glasner is Manchester United’s top target to replace Amorim. With the 51-year-old Austrian tactician ready to move to Old Trafford, it will be interesting to see if his illustrious stint with Crystal Palace ends this year.
