Brendan Rodgers again dismisses links to Man United job as 'gossip' as the Leicester boss reaffirms his commitment to the Foxes amid the ongoing search for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's replacement

Brendan Rodgers has reiterated his commitment to Leicester despite ongoing links with the Manchester United job.

Sportsmail understands the former Liverpool boss is being considered as a candidate to succeed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as permanent United boss in the summer.

Michael Carrick has taken over as caretaker manager, while Sportsmail understands the club's hierarchy have named a five-man shortlist to take over as interim boss until May.
