Ruben Amorim Oliver Glasner Man Utd Crystal Palace
Former West Ham and Crystal Palace defender James Tomkins has backed Oliver Glasner to take the Manchester United job if Ruben Amorim is removed from his position in the coming months. The Red Devils' nightmare start to the 2025-26 campaign continued as they crashed out of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday after being beaten by Grimsby Town on penalties.
WHAT HAPPENED?
League Two side Grimsby Town stunned United by taking a two-goal lead within half an hour of play thanks to some disastrous goalkeeping by Andre Onana. Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire then scored in quick succession to drag the game to the tie-breaker. In the penalty shootout, the fourth-tier side emerged victorious against the mighty Red Devils.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
After finishing 15th in the Premier League last campaign and going winless in their first three matches of the new season, Amorim is under immense pressure to perform going forward. If the team's performance does not change drastically, the United management might consider parting ways with the Portuguese coach. In case of the 40-year-old's sacking, Tomkins feels the Premier League giants should snatch away Glasner from Crystal Palace.
WHAT TOMKINS SAID
Speaking to Boyle Sports, who offer the latest Premier League betting odds, Tomkins said: "If the Man Utd job comes up I think Oliver Glasner is definitely a name that will be mentioned, and I believe he was linked to Bayern before. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds, because he's certainly going to be linked with the bigger teams.
“You're not just talking about keeping all the players at Palace, you're also talking about keeping the manager. It's a difficult situation.
"However, he's probably the most important of them all because of how he's changed everything there and how well we produce results in the biggest games. So, yes, he's definitely going to be linked with one of the big clubs."
