Former Crystal Palace star Clinton Morrison has spoken on manager Oliver Glasner and where he may end up at the end of the season.

Manchester United are reported to have Glasner at the top of their wish list for the summer as they aim to bring in a permanent manager after the sacking of Ruben Amorim this month.

Glasner announced last week that he would be leaving the Eagles at the end of the season when his current contract expires after feeling “abandoned” by the board. 

Now, speaking to Free Bets, Morrison has stated that Glasner will not only dodge United but also will not stay in the Premier League when he departs Palace. 

“I don’t think it’s Old Trafford because the fans were already moaning about Ruben Amorim and the way he played with the 3, 4, 3. I just don’t think Man United players adjusted to that. I think it works at Palace because they have the players that can play that formation. 

“I think he maybe goes somewhere else in Europe or back to the Bundesliga if a big job becomes available there, then he gets a job in Germany.  

“The Premier League isn’t out of the question, if Tottenham made a change in the summer, I could see that potentially, but his stock is high at the minute. 

“He’s Palace’s greatest ever manager for me, and he’s really injected something into the club, but he’ll want a strong finish to the season because he’ll be being looked at by other clubs and if Palace’s form tails off then clubs looking at him to come in may start having doubts about him." 

Glasner helped Palace to their first trophy in 70 years last season as the side lifted the FA Cup. United are eager to bring him in to replace interim manager Michael Carrick but if Morrison is right, he may be seeking to leave England altogether.
