Brendan Rodgers has reiterated that he has no interest in leaving Leicester City for another club following rumours connecting him with Manchester United.
United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is under huge pressure following last weekend’s 5-0 defeat by Liverpool at Old Trafford.
The Norwegian is in desperate need of victory against Tottenham in Saturday’s late kick-off in the Premier League, with his job reportedly under scrutiny.
Rodgers was rumoured to be among the contenders for the United job, should the club’s hierarchy part company with Solskjaer.
But the former Liverpool and Celtic boss has remained steadfast in his commitment to Leicester - a stance which he repeated after their 2-0 defeat by Arsenal.
"It is an absolutely brilliant club for a manager, a coach, to be here developing players,” Rodgers said post-match.
“You have nowhere near the levels of finance as some of the bigger clubs but what we can certainly do here is compete and that’s what we always want to do.
“Great training ground, great bunch of players who will improve and develop and we keep fighting to improve. We’ll see if we can try and get to the next level."
United have taken just one point from their last four games going into their match against Spurs on Saturday.
Solskjaer has won just three of his previous nine matches in all competitions, placing his job in doubt as he nears three years in the role.
Rodgers has frequently been linked with other clubs during his time with Leicester, but his recent comments suggest he has no interest in moving from the Foxes.

"I don't even think about it - and that's the brutal honesty,” he said earlier this week.
“I’m sure the supporters are probably tired of it. At Leicester, there is always a link.
"My focus is always here with Leicester and developing the football club on to that next level, where you're competing for European football and challenging for honours.
"Everyone here at the club, from the chief executive to the director of football - staff, players - we're all very much on the same path, same vision."
Rodgers was disappointed with his side’s performance against Arsenal, with a lacklustre start allowing the away side to take control of the game.
Gabriel headed in Bukayo Saka’s corner to give the Gunners the lead after five minutes into the match before Emile Smith Rowe doubled their lead just 18 minutes in.
Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale produced several fine saves to ensure Arsenal left with the victory which saw Leicester drop to 10th place in the Premier League.
"It was an awful start to the game,” Rodgers said.
“We actually talked about it beforehand, it was important being an early kick off - get the crowd going.
“We were so passive, we lacked energy in our pressing and we made it far too easy. In saying that, we can defend both goals better."
