Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers emerges as 'the favourite to replace under-fire Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United as the former Liverpool boss tops the Red Devils' four-man shortlist'

Brendan Rodgers has been put forward as the favourite to take over at Manchester United, according to reports.

United are currently sixth in the Premier League after 5-0 mauling at home by Liverpool and followed by a 2-0 defeat to Manchester City, with pressure increasing on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

No managerial change appears to be imminent after the Red Devils boss seemingly survived his three-game stay of execution but Solskjaer's job is still hanging by a thread.
