Surprise Premier League boss emerges as bookies' favourite to replace Ruben Amorim at Man United - with three Champions League-winning managers also in the frame

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has emerged as the surprise bookies' favourite to become the next permanent Man United manager if Ruben Amorim leaves the club.

The pressure ramped up on Amorim after United were beaten on penalties by League Two outfit Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night as his tenure reached another nadir.

The 40-year-old, who was appointed last November, has now lost 17 and won just 16 of his 45 games in charge in what has been an extremely difficult period for the club.
