Glasner’s Impact at Crystal Palace
Glasner’s Achievements
Glasner, who took the helm at Crystal Palace in February 2024, has received accolades for his contributions to the club. His leadership was highlighted by securing the FA Cup for the London team last season.
Future Speculations
With less than three weeks since the transfer window closed, Glasner’s name has emerged in discussions regarding the managerial position at Manchester United. Current manager Ruben Amorim is facing scrutiny regarding his future with the club.
The Manchester United management has shown support for Amorim, but there are uncertainties about how long this backing will last unless the team can string together a series of victories.
Opinions on Glasner’s Future
Fjortoft expresses confidence that Glasner will remain with Crystal Palace, even if approached by Manchester United, suggesting that the Austrian coach will hold out for a more suitable opportunity.
In a lighthearted moment, Fjortoft noted the irony of Glasner being linked to a potential move after he denied Guehi’s transfer request to Liverpool. He quipped that it would be amusing if Guehi announced his own departure contingent upon Glasner’s exit to the Red Devils.
“Wouldn’t it be interesting if Guehi said, ‘if Glasner leaves, I’m leaving too’? He could flip the script now,” Fjortoft laughed during an appearance on ESPN FC.
“However, I don’t believe Glasner will make the move to Manchester United.”
“He will be patient and wait it out.”
Current Status
So far, Glasner has overseen 70 matches as the manager of Crystal Palace, further intensifying the pressure on West Ham’s Graham Potter after the Eagles secured a 2-1 victory at the London Stadium last Saturday.
Looking ahead, Crystal Palace will face Liverpool, the team Guehi was keen to join, in their upcoming match at Selhurst Park.
