Resolution has been delayed by packed fixture schedule

Manager says defender may be sold for the right price

Oliver Glasner expects to decide in the coming weeks whether he will sign a new contract at Crystal Palace and has said Marc Guéhi could be sold this month if his “threshold” is met.

Glasner is the bookmakers’ early favourite to be the permanent replacement for Ruben Amorim at Manchester United. The Austrian’s contract expires this summer and the ambitious 51-year-old is understood to be open then to joining United or another big club.

Glasner held discussions with the Palace chair, Steve Parish, over a new deal this season but talks were put on ice during a hectic run of fixtures, the FA Cup winners playing two games a week since the end of August owing to European commitments. He revealed more talks are expected after Palace begin their FA Cup defence against Macclesfield on Saturday but offered no guarantees he will stay.
