Bookies make Glasner favourite, United maintain backing for Amorim
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been installed by bookmakers as the frontrunner to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United after last weekend’s 3-1 defeat to Brentford reignited speculation. United brief that Amorim retains board support and that no successor is being lined up, a stance also repeated after the Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby Town. A 2-1 win over Chelsea briefly lifted the mood, but the setback at Brentford revived concerns over consistency.
Spurs near-miss: Levy was urged to consider Glasner
Former Palace chairman Simon Jordan told talkSPORT he recommended Glasner to ex-Tottenham chief Daniel Levy in the summer. Spurs, seeking a successor to Ange Postecoglou, ultimately opted for Thomas Frank of Brentford instead. Glasner, credited with FA Cup and Community Shield honours, remains a name to watch should United’s situation shift.
Context for United’s decision-makers
Fan frustration has grown amid uneven results, but the club signals continuity for now. With Glasner thriving at Palace and already admired in Premier League circles, any further dip could intensify the Old Trafford noise around a potential change.
