Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner and Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, both of whom are said to be under serious evaluation.
Glasner, in particular, is generating the most buzz within the club’s leadership, and it’s believed he would eagerly accept the opportunity to manage at Old Trafford if the role becomes vacant.
Gareth Southgate also remains a figure of interest, having been on United’s radar for some time.
However, concerns persist within INEOS about possible negative reactions from supporters should the former England manager be appointed.
As one source put it: “The question is when not if Ruben Amorim leaves Manchester United in months to come.”
Another one confirmed that INEOS would “not be afraid of taking the decision early if needed”.
The Portuguese manager appeared visibly dejected following his team’s unexpected Carabao Cup defeat to League Two outfit Grimsby.
Despite having only recently taken charge, doubts are growing about his long-term future at the club.
Meanwhile, Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola have made strong impressions in the Premier League. Glasner has led Crystal Palace to notable triumphs, including lifting the FA Cup and the Community Shield in recent months.
Iraola has also earned praise for his work at Bournemouth, where he’s elevated individual performances and introduced an exciting, attacking style of play.
Both coaches have demonstrated their capabilities in England’s top flight—a factor that may weigh heavily, especially as Amorim continues to falter despite his previous achievements in Portugal.
