Oliver Glasner has confirmed that he will leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season, amid interest from Manchester United.

The 51-year-old, who led Palace to their first major trophy in the FA Cup last season, announced in a press conference that he would leave the club at the end of his contract, having informed the club's chairman, Steve Parish, in October.

The Independent has reported that Glasner was Manchester United's top target to replace Ruben Amorim on a permanent basis, with former United midfielder Michael Carrick stepping in following the mid-season sacking of the head coach.

Palace are winless in eight games in all competitions and were dumped out of the FA Cup by non-league Macclesfield last weekend. The club's captain, Marc Guehi, is also set to join Manchester City this month. Glasner also confirmed that Guehi would not play this weekend as he finalises a £20m move to the Etihad.

Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are among the European clubs to have shown an interest in signing the defender on a free transfer, with regulations allowing Guehi to sign a pre-agreement with an overseas club from this month.
