Man Utd v Crystal Palace game moves to 1 March

Glasner confirmed on Friday that he would leave the capital club at the end of the season, when his contract expires.

“A decision has already been taken, months ago. I had a meeting with Steve [Parish] in October, the international break,” he said.

“We had a very long talk, and I told him I will not sign a new contract. We agreed, at the time, it was the best to keep it between us. It’s the best that we could do that and keep it confidential for three months.

“But now it’s important to have clarity, and we had a very busy schedule, so that’s why we didn’t want to talk about it. Steve and I want the best for Crystal Palace.”
