Manchester United would like Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Despite admiring several managers, including former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, as we exclusively reported earlier this week, the Red Devils’ first-choice candidate is Rodgers.
We understand that Rodgers and people working with him have already met with Manchester United’s hierarchy and verbally agreed to take the Old Trafford hot seat.

The latest in the ongoing saga comes from The Sun, who have claimed that a ‘leading agent’ is continuing to meet with Manchester United in order to help them find a solution regarding their soon-to-be-vacant manager’s position.
The Sun claim that the Red Devils have been informed that they will be able to get Rodgers out of Leicester City.
We reported that there are ongoing discussions over whether or not the Northern Irishman would succeed Solskjaer mid-term or wait until the end of the season.
CaughtOffside now understands that Solskjaer is aware of the meetings happening inside the club with his position becoming increasingly untenable by the day.
Ole Gunner has failed terribly on his attempt to rebuild the team.He has proved to be clueless and so basic in his tactics.We hope Brenden Rodgers has what it takes to take man u to the next level
Someone else who has not won anything
why do we want a Liverpool Flop
He is never a flop, he makes Liverpool play some attractive football and he is a big winner at Celtic.
Remember he is the man that gave Leicester City the FA CUP against TT of Chelsea last season and he’s not afraid playing has own kind of game against the so called teams in the EPL, with the level of players @ManUtd has he CAN be the man to bring the best out of this group… Please BR try to bring NDIDI with you sir.
we want ole out
I think the time given to Ole is enough, let another engineer come in.
Ralf Rangnick next I beg
Did you forget about the FA Cup & Community Shield?
I don’t think Brendan Roger’s will be any different than Solskjaer. Zidane is the natur choice followed by Ten Hag.
We don’t need ole again please
Please we need a trophy coach
We they said OGS is our legend and the team is getting worst please my question is that did, Lampard not legend in chelsea please clear road for OLE
Get ten hag on the job is the perfect one
ole should just leave the club
yes
IS TIME TO LET OLE GO. PLS UTD SHOULD GO FOR ZIDANE OR TEN HAG PERIOD.
And who will be the man making the choice of a new manager on behalf of the owners? Yes, the same guy who rubber-stamped the last four failures. None of these people know anything about football and the new manager will be chosen on the grounds that he can be manipulated by Woodward, who will remain at the club to ensure any hope of success is blighted. United desperately need someone like Ralf Rangnick who appears able to organise every aspect of bringing on-field success.
Ole must go. Need a change in manager, in the way Man Utd is playing. No aggressivity, lack of confidence, a leaky defence… not a proper defensive midfielder. Some players on loans with remarkable displays Ethan Laird, James Garner, Reece Devine etc… no proper strategy/planning. Utd has the best squad! Now we need someone with an iron fist like AFS. What about Roy Keane with Gary Neville and Paul Scholes. Bring Nicky Butt back. Those guys have the club at heart… have the utd genes and know english football better than Zidane…
