Oliver Glasner, currently managing Crystal Palace, is the frontrunner to replace Rúben Amorim as Manchester United manager after Amorim’s dismissal earlier Monday morning.

According to bookmaker Betfair, the Austrian boasts roughly a 22% chance of landing the job, the highest among 22 candidates on the list.

Former England manager Gareth Southgate ranks second with about a 17% chance, while ex-Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, set to lead the US national team from September 2024, is third at approximately 12%.

The search for a new manager at Old Trafford is heating up as the club looks to stabilize following the shake-up on Monday.
