Brendan Rodgers 'reluctant' on Manchester United as former Celtic boss tipped to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers isn't keen on becoming the next Manchester United boss, according to reports.

The Northern Irishman is just 7/2 with bookmakers and is only second in the standings to Zinedine Zidane.

However, Mundo Deportivo report that the former Real Madrid boss will not be returning to football unless a job in France interests him.

Rodgers turned the heat up on current Old Trafford manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after leading Leicester City to a 4-2 win in the English Premier League at the weekend.

That was ramped up again after the 5-0 mauling at the hands of rivals Liverpool on Sunday.

However, the Leicester Mercury report Rodgers would be "reluctant to leave the King Power Stadium."

The report notes "he would prefer to succeed Pep Guardiola at the Etihad."

The Manchester Evening News claims the Manchester United hierarchy is giving serious consideration to dismissing Solskjaer ahead of their Premier League clash against Tottenham at the weekend.

The chiefs at the English Premier League side are reportedly drawing up a shortlist of potential candidates.
