US EditionManchester United: Candidates for the Old Trafford Hotseat
Oliver Glasner, 51, leads betting to replace Ruben Amorim at Manchester United after Amorim’s sacking amid concerns over progress and style of play, bookmakers say.
- On Monday morning, Manchester United sacked Ruben Amorim less than 24 hours after a 1-1 draw at Leeds, appointing Darren Fletcher as interim manager for the Burnley game on Wednesday.
- After his explosive post-match press conference, Ruben Amorim's public criticism of the club hierarchy and a breakdown with Jason Wilcox, Manchester United director of football, led to a sacking decision by Wilcox and Omar Berrada, Manchester United chief executive.
- Financially, the decision is expected to cost United close to �10 million, with his pay breaking down to around $167,000 per week, and Amorim leaves with 24 wins in 63 games, a 38.1% overall win rate and 31.9% in the Premier League.
- Oliver Glasner is now the betting favourite at 4/1 to join Manchester United, with the summer appointment plan increasing his chances as his Crystal Palace contract expires.
- Bookmakers also favour Enzo Maresca at 5/2 and Darren Fletcher at 100/30, while links to Xavi and Crystal Palace transfer issues involving Marc Guehi complicate Glasner's move.
