OLIVER GLASNER will hold talks at Crystal Palace over his future – with Manchester United circling.
Glasner, 51, is being considered by the Old Trafford hierarchy as their next permanent boss.
The Red Devils want to wait until the season’s finished before unveiling their new gaffer following Ruben Amorim‘s axing on Monday.
Glasner led Palace to their first major trophy, beating Manchester City to lift the FA Cup in May, which secured European football for the first time in their history.
He is out of contract this summer and has been coy over a new deal.
Glasner insists everyone at Selhurst Park is united – but there have been regular gripes from the coach regarding the club’s transfer policy.
The Austrian said he has paid little attention to the ongoing speculation and the odds that see him among the favourites for the Old Trafford hotseat.
Glasner said: “In my [Palace] contract, [is] one paragraph, I tell you, [that] I am not allowed to bet, and I don’t look at it [the odds].
“I cannot also give insider information, because then I am also breaking my contract.”
The Eagles host Aston Villa tonight in the Prem, before starting their Cup defence in a third-round clash at non-league Macclesfield on Saturday afternoon.

Asked whether there would be more talks over a deal soon, boss Glasner said: “In the next weeks, we will intensify the talks.
“We go up north and then everyone gets three days off after Macclesfield, then we have to target four regular weeks.
“In those weeks I expect to find a final decision.”
Pressed on his links to United, Glasner added: “I am Crystal Palace manager and I just think it makes no sense, and is also wasted time for you to ask me any more questions, so I don’t talk about any other club than Crystal Palace.
“You can sign a new contract, like managers did in the Premier League this year, and 1767795410 they aren’t the manager there any more. Even if I sign a new contract, you could ask me every day, ‘What is the future?’
“There is one situation which keeps you in your job when you are a manager — and this is being successful. It is the only thing to survive [in] this job.”
