Oliver Glasner to Manchester United?

Palace had been eager to agree a new deal, but with the growing tensions between the Austrian and the club hierarchy, there’s a chance he could leave once his deal expires. Manchester United are prioritising a move for the 51-year-old Premier League boss to replace Amorim, but the whole situation is a bit tricky.

Glasner is not expected to leave immediately, although there’s a possibility the Austrian would want to win the club’s first European trophy this term and then leave.
