“He’s The Best Choice In My Opinion To Be The Next Man United Manager.” Matt Le Tissier Reveals Terrific Choice To Replace Ruben Amorim At Man Utd.

Manchester United’s recent struggles have put Ruben Amorim’s future at Old Trafford under intense scrutiny, and pundits are increasingly vocal. Among them, former England and Southampton star Matt Le Tissier has not held back. In an exclusive interview with Football Insider, Le Tissier declared his belief that United should turn away from more predictable names and instead target someone who already has Premier League traction. His man? Oliver Glasner.

Le Tissier begins by rejecting the conventional “safe” option of hiring Gareth Southgate. He argues that Southgate’s style is too “predictable” for an ambitious, high-expectation club like United. Instead, Le Tissier emphasizes the need for a manager currently active in the Premier League—someone who understands its demands, pressures, and rhythms.

His preferred candidate, Oliver Glasner, ticks those boxes. Le Tissier points out that Glasner already has Premier League experience, has delivered silverware (winning the FA Cup last season with Crystal Palace), and has proven he can galvanize a squad. He frames Glasner not simply as an outsider, but as someone with modern relevance and momentum.

What strengthens Le Tissier’s argument is the context in which he makes it. United are under fire for poor results this campaign, tactical inflexibility, and a sense that the squad hasn’t fully adapted to Amorim’s system. Le Tissier highlights Bruno Fernandes as a prime example: under Amorim, Fernandes has been pushed into unfamiliar roles that blunt his influence. For Le Tissier, the next manager must first restore Fernandes’s central creativity.

Beyond that, it’s also a question of motivation and timing. The board reportedly has limited patience left, and rumors of replacement planning are emerging. Le Tissier seems to suggest that United need someone who is not just coachable in theory, but “ready to go” now — no long adaptation period. That, he believes, gives Glasner an edge.

Of course, there are counterarguments. Glasner, as good as he’s done, is not untested at the very topmost level of a club with United’s demands. He would face pressure to adapt quickly, manage egos, and satisfy stakeholders. Le Tissier’s view is, however, that the upside outweighs the risk — that United need a change of direction, and Glasner offers the spark they’re missing.

In sum, Le Tissier’s position is clear: if United are going to move on from Amorim, they should not default to safe, familiar names—but back someone who is active, battle-tested in the Premier League environment, and has upward trajectory. For him, Oliver Glasner is that “terrific choice.” Only time will tell whether the United hierarchy will agree.
