DISRUPTORS

Glasner and Iraola have shaken up top flight's established order and could go higher still...

- BY DARREN WELLS

THERE could be more than three points at stake when Oliver Glasner and Andoni Iraola meet at Selhurst Park today.

Crystal Palace and Bournemouth have already emerged as the two surprise packages of this season so far, as they both sit pretty among the early pacesetters inside the top six.

Yet the biggest attraction is more likely to be in the dugouts than on the pitch with a golden ticket to Old Trafford potentially among the prizes.

There is little doubt Glasner, 51, and Iraola, 43, are the two hottest managers on the Premier League merry-go-round right now.

And for all Sir Jim Ratcliffe's insistence that Ruben Amorim needs three years to prove himself a “great” coach, one glance at the touchline in south London this afternoon will perhaps make those in power at Manchester United think otherwise.

Not that they will need reminding of two managers who are yet to lose to United with their respective clubs.
