Oliver Glasner Faces Pressure at Crystal Palace Amid Manchester United Interest
# Oliver Glasner May Resign as Crystal Palace Manager Amid Manchester United Interest
## Concerns Grow as Glasner Critiques Palace Leadership
Oliver Glasner, the manager of Crystal Palace, has expressed deep frustration regarding the club's management and their recent decisions. His anger escalated following the sale of captain Marc Guehi just before a critical match against Sunderland. The incident occurred earlier this week, leading Glasner to believe his team is being poorly treated during a challenging period. He highlighted the struggles of a team made up of inexperienced players on the bench.
Glasner stated, "The players gave everything they could, look at the bench just kids. We feel we're being abandoned, selling our captain one day before a game. No understanding of this. Yesterday I got told at 10:30am he's [Guehi] being sold, why not next week? It makes me really upset." This sentiments underscore the tension between the manager and the club's hierarchy.
The decision to part ways with Guehi, made only a day prior to the fixture, has left Glasner baffled. He explained, "Yesterday at 10:30am I heard that the first time we were selling Marc. We have to deal with it, one day before a game going to Sunderland. We know we aren't in the best of runs, we don't have players available and we're selling our captain. Completely no understanding. No team would do this." His remarks reveal not just disappointment, but also a sense of urgency for the team to have stability as they navigate a difficult season.
The club's situation has reportedly caught the attention of Manchester United, who might be looking to capitalize on the turmoil at Crystal Palace. Should Glasner decide to resign, it could open the door for a significant managerial shift in the Premier League.
