The silkmen’s assistant manager Francis Jeffers lifted the lid on the incident while speaking on The Show on BBC Sport , sensationally claiming there was a big disagreement between the pair at the break.
Jeffers alleged tensions boiled over in the after Palace were stunned by the lower-tier side in one of the competition’s biggest upsets.
He said: “I will say it and I don’t know if I should be syaing it but Marc Guehi and Glasner going at it in the tunnel.
“It was at half time and there were going at it, I walked pass them and was like that there is an edge to that.
”I told my lad that you see you have clearly rattled them.”
SunSport has approached Palace and Guehi’s agency for comment.
The defeat sent shockwaves through Palace fans and piled pressure on Glasner, with questions raised over the squad’s mentality and preparation.
Guehi, who was club captain at the time, was said to have been visibly furious as Palace’s cup dreams crumbled.
Ironically, the centre-back had previously led Palace to FA Cup glory under Glasner the season before, lifting the trophy as captain in a historic triumph for the south London side against City.
But relations appeared to sour dramatically in the weeks that followed the embarrassing third-round exit.

The timing of the move has inevitably fuelled speculation that the reported dressing-room clash played a role in his departure.
City swooped to secure the international’s signature, bolstering their defensive ranks with one of the Premier League’s most highly rated centre-halves.
Meanwhile, it has since been confirmed Glasner will leave the Eagles at the end of the season, marking the end of his tenure in charge.
Whether the alleged row contributed to the breakdown between player and manager remains unclear, but the fallout from Palace’s FA Cup humiliation continues to be felt.

Glasner made it abundantly clear in public that he wanted Guehi to stay following the win over .
Within the club some feared he could even walk if the defender was sold.
Off the back of the win in May and the victory over in the Community Shield, this is the prime time for Glasner to throw his weight around.
Not that Palace did not try to , who could now leave for nothing in a year’s time.
