The Austrian is set to leave the south London club at the end of the season when his contract expires, meaning United will sign him on a free contract at short notice.<\/p>\n<p>    Like many other players on the Red Devils&#8217; shortlist, Glasner will benefit from the arrival of attacking star Yann Diomande at Old Trafford. According to Caught Offside, Man United have made an offer for Diomande, but RB Leipzig are reluctant to sell this month, valuing their star man at around \u20ac100m (approximately \u00a387m).<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"man-utd-should-commence-new-era-with-diomande\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Manchester_United_should_start_a_new_era_with_Diomande\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Manchester United should start a new era with Diomande<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Under Amorim, the addition of star players meant little. In his 3-4-2-1 system, wide players were often central in one of the two number 10 roles, or wing-backs with added defensive responsibilities. Someone like Diomand would have been doomed from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>But now that he has been shown the door, Man United have the chance to bring in a manager who can take Diomande to the next level.<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old is already becoming a player to watch in the Bundesliga, with a number of clubs, including United, tracking his development. And if they switch to a back-four system with wingers, he should be one of their top priorities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>RB Leipzig&#8217;s Diomande<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">\n<p>25\/26 statistics<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>Appearance<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>16<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>the goal<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>assist<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p>4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>It&#8217;s no wonder Leipzig are keen to keep Diomande, who has been involved in 11 goals in 16 games so far this season and has been highly rated by manager Marcel Sch\u00e4fer.<\/p>\n<p>The managing director said: <em>&#8220;He is a left winger with great speed, can dribble, is very athletic and can finish.
