Inside Man United Training Today: New Manager observed in rigorous training to lead the squad against Sunderland tomorrow as INEOS prepared to announce the unexpected Ruben Amorim sacking Today
Manchester United have gained a significant boost in their efforts to secure Oliver Glasner as Ruben Amorim’s replacement.
Amorim is on borrowed time.
Amorim is under intense pressure at United following the club’s dismal start to the 2025/26 season.
United are currently in 14th place in the Premier League, having won two, drawn one, and lost three of their first six games. During that time, the Red Devils scored only seven points.
Last weekend’s 3-1 loss to Brentford raised questions about Amorim’s long-term viability, with many fans reportedly advocating for a change in the dugout. While United remain steadfast in their support for Amorim, a lack of progress on the pitch will undoubtedly shake that faith.
There are indications that United have begun to identify potential successors, with names such as Gareth Southgate, Andoni Iraola, Michael Carrick (interim), and Glasner appearing.
Last month, Glasner admitted to keeping a close eye on the situation at United.
According to The Peoples Person, the Austrian coach is willing to continue at Palace as long as the London club fits his aspirations. The article also stated that Palace, aware of United’s interest in their manager, is working on extending his contract.
According to the BBC, Palace’s offer for Glasner has been on the table since the summer, but he has made no indication of accepting it. According to the site, he is expected to leave at the end of the season, which may work out very well for United.
United get a significant boost in Glasner chase.
The BBC reveals: “Sources have told BBC Sport that Glasner was offered a new contract earlier this summer, but has yet to put pen to paper on an extension.”
“Well-placed insiders claim the Austrian preferred to wait until the end of the transfer window before making a decision – a choice motivated by his inclination to see how committed the club were to strengthening the squad.”
Glasner’s harsh comments about Palace’s summer dealings show he believes the club failed to achieve his expectations.
The BBC continues: “Sources close to Palace claim the chances of Glasner staying are remote, that the perceived transfer inactivity over the summer was taken as a sign that he and the club are not aligned in terms of their ambitions.”
Nonetheless, Palace will continue to try to persuade the 51-year-old to stay.
In addition to United, Bayern Munich are lovers of Glasner, but unlike Amorim, Vincent Kompany is not in the spotlight.
