Amorim&#8217;s sudden departure from United, the Red Devils have seen countless names join their squad, including Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner.<\/p>\n<p>The Austrian has consistently voiced his dissatisfaction with the lack of funds at Selhurst Park in recent months, while refusing to make any progress on his current contract.<\/p>\n<p>    His contract in London is due to expire at the end of the campaign and he could become a cheap and effective option for the Red Devils hierarchy in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Glasner is not the only player on the shortlist at the moment, with German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann also currently being considered.<\/p>\n<p>According to The Independent, INEOS are full of praise for the 38-year-old, but given his current commitments, it may be highly unlikely that a deal will be finalized in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>However, he says a deal could be floated in the summer, especially after he leads Germany to this summer&#8217;s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Wibel is familiar with his work at Red Bull Leipzig, so there is already a natural connection.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2

the past few years, thanks to the success he has endured while managing Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n<p>    He led the Eagles to their first ever major trophy at the end of last season, before defeating Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley in the FA Cup final.<\/p>\n<p>The Austrian has since confirmed his success in the Community Shield in August and also took charge of the club&#8217;s first ever trip to Europe in the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n<p>His current contract situation certainly makes him a more viable option for INEOS, but they need to seize the opportunity to target Nagelsmann.<\/p>\n<p>Despite only being 38 years old, the German has already amassed an impressive resume, having spent 18 months in charge of his country while managing Bayern Munich.<\/p>\n<p>    He won the Bundesliga title in the 2021\/22 season, while achieving a record of 71% winning percentage and 2.3 goals scored in the German top flight.<\/p>\n<p>Nagelsmann has won two Supercup titles during his managerial career and

severely lacked in recent seasons.<\/p>\n<p>There are very few managers who can achieve the same winning percentage as the German, and Glasner only achieved a winning percentage of 45% in his two
