Eintracht Frankfurt manager Dino Toppm\u00f6ller has acknowledged an ambition to manage Manchester United at some point in his career. The revelation came as he reflected on childhood allegiances and the scale of the club, and follows continued public commitment from Amorim to United amid discussion of potential replacements.<\/p>\n
\u201cThinking about abroad, I often played computer games as a child, always with one team: Manchester United,\u201d he told Phrasenm\u00e4her . \u201cThat would definitely be nice someday, because it\u2019s an extraordinary club.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I was a teenager, Manchester United was, along with Real Madrid , the biggest club of all.\u201d<\/p>\n
Toppm\u00f6ller is not listed among the names most often linked with the Old Trafford role, but the manager who led Eintracht to their first appearance in the Champions League this year made clear he would relish the chance. His comments add another voice to the wider conversation about United\u2019s managerial future while Amorim remains publicly committed to the job and those in charge at Old Trafford are thought to remain behind him for the time being.<\/p>\n
One recent name linked with United is Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner. Glasner had been replaced by Toppm\u00f6ller when he swapped Deutsche Bank Park for Selhurst Park in February 2024. Glasner has attracted attention in England after guiding Palace to FA Cup and Community Shield glory, and was linked with an exit from the Eagles during the summer amid reported clashes over transfers.<\/p>\n
Sky Sports News reports those issues have been resolved. Glasner is already planning for a future with Palace, discussing the club\u2019s medium-term and long-term future while he awaits negotiations over his own contract, which runs until the end of the current season.<\/p>\n
The exchange highlights two parallel narratives: Toppm\u00f6ller expressing admiration and long-term interest in Manchester United, and Palace dealing with the immediate practicalities of retaining a manager linked with success in domestic cup competitions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
