Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is the bookmakers’ favourite to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United, with pressure mounting at Old Trafford.
United’s 3-1 defeat to Brentford intensified speculation around Amorim’s future, although the board insist they still back the Portuguese coach.
The Red Devils’ Carabao Cup exit to Grimsby Town further frustrated fans, who are losing patience after another string of poor results.
A recent win over Chelsea offered hope, but United’s inconsistency continues to raise questions about Amorim’s ability to turn things around, reports Mirror.
Glasner, meanwhile, has strengthened his reputation with Palace after lifting both the FA Cup and Community Shield in recent months.
Former Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy even considered Glasner in the summer before appointing Thomas Frank, after Simon Jordan’s glowing recommendation.
Glasner’s Reputation Growing Across Europe
Jordan revealed he urged Levy to appoint Glasner, praising the Austrian as a “top, top manager” capable of exceeding expectations.

Palace’s success has come despite the repeated loss of stars like Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise, sold for significant transfer fees.
Marc Guehi also departed, yet Glasner has kept Palace competitive, guiding them through Europe while beating some of the Premier League’s elite.
Jordan doubts Glasner will remain at Selhurst Park beyond this season, predicting bigger clubs will move quickly to secure his services.
