Manchester United Receives Positive News with Glasner’s Departure from Crystal Palace
On January 17th, 2026, Oliver Glasner confirmed he will depart Crystal Palace at the end of the current season, giving Manchester United a hopeful prospect in their managerial search.
Former United midfielder Michael Carrick is set to manage his first match today against Manchester City at Old Trafford, stepping into the interim role following Glasner’s announcement.
Carrick, who previously led Middlesbrough, faces a challenging task, as he is considered inexperienced for a position at this level. However, there remains curiosity about how he will perform, especially after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s successful stint as an interim manager led to his appointment as the permanent head coach.
