With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s future at Manchester United very much up in the air following their disappointing start to the season, Brendan Rodgers is someone who has been continuously linked as a potential candidate to replace the Norwegian in the managerial hot seat at Old Trafford. And it is not hard to understand why.
Rodgers currently finds himself at Leicester City, who he joined back in early 2019 and has done a terrific job with the Foxes since then.
Rodgers could very well be the perfect fit for Manchester United for several reasons. But the big question is, would he be open to leaving Leicester City in the middle of the season?
That remains to be seen. But he is definitely a manager that Manchester United should have their eyes on in case they part ways with Solskjaer in the future.
Manchester United: 3 reasons why Brendan Rodgers is the perfect fit
Here are three reasons why Rodgers might be the perfect fit to be the next Manchester United manager, if they part ways with Solskjaer:
Experience in the Premier League
One big worry when bringing in managers from outside is always how they would fit into English football and the Premier League.
There would be no such concerns surrounding Rodgers though, who has managed in the Premier League for years and he has done so at multiple clubs as well, to great success.
In fact, with how well he has done since joining Leicester City, he is rated as one of the best managers in the Premier League at this point of time.
During both his full seasons at the club, Leicester City competed for a top four spot, although they did fall short narrowly on both occasions. But it was an impressive effort from the Foxes nonetheless.
Thus, it is not surprising why Manchester United might want to bring him to Old Trafford.
