Overview

• Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner called talk of him replacing Ruben Amorim “a lot of nonsense” and said he is focused on Palace after being named Austria’s Coach of the Year.
• Sir Jim Ratcliffe said this week he wants to give Amorim his full three-year stint to prove himself at Manchester United.
• Football Insider reporting, including analysis from ex-City adviser Stefan Borson, says United may be wary of paying an estimated £10–12m to sack Amorim plus around £10m in compensation to hire a manager under contract elsewhere.
• Glasner’s Palace deal runs to the end of this season in June 2026, raising the prospect he could be available next summer without a compensation fee.
• A 2-0 win over Sunderland eased near-term pressure on Amorim, with United 10th in the Premier League on 10 points from seven matches.
