Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has reportedly made a decision on his future that may disappoint Manchester United. According to Alan Nixon, Glasner has been instrumental in revitalizing Crystal Palace since joining the club in early 2024, leading them to their first major silverware by winning the FA Cup in 2024/25 and the Community Shield against Liverpool. Palace has also qualified for European football for the first time as a Conference League team.
Despite their recent successes, Glasner’s impressive achievements at Palace have attracted attention from other clubs. Alan Nixon has indicated that Glasner’s ‘dream job’ would be to manage Bayern Munich if he were to leave Crystal Palace. While Manchester United have shown interest in Glasner, it seems that the Austrian manager’s preference lies with Bayern Munich.
Palace is eager to retain Glasner, but there are concerns that he may not sign a new contract as his current deal expires in the summer of 2026. Glasner’s fascination with the Bayern Munich role could complicate matters for Palace, especially given his reported desire to manage the German giants.
For Manchester United, who are experiencing inconsistencies under Ruben Amorim, the news that Glasner may not be interested in a move to Old Trafford would be disappointing. Despite being considered a potential candidate to replace Amorim, it appears that Glasner’s priority is not Manchester United.
As Amorim faces pressure due to the lack of consistency at United, the possibility of looking for alternative managerial options may arise if Glasner’s focus remains on Bayern Munich. Regardless, the situation highlights the challenges United may face in their search for a new manager if a change is deemed necessary in the future.
