Former Aston Villa and Chelsea striker Tony Cascarino believes Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers is not capable of managing one of the Premier League's elite-level clubs, such as Manchester City or Manchester United.
Rodgers, who watched his Leicester side end their two-game winless run in the Premier League with a 4-0 win over Newcastle United on Sunday afternoon, has been heavily linked with replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as United's next permanent manager in recent weeks.
The Northern Irishman is understood to be very well thought of by those inside Old Trafford and it remains possible that they could swoop for him when Ralf Rangnick's spell in interim charge comes to an end at the end of the season.
As well as United being interested in Rodgers, the Leicester boss, who swapped Celtic Park for the King Power Stadium back in February 2019, has been closely linked with City as a possible replacement for when Pep Guardiola leaves the club, although no date has yet been set for when the former Bayern Munich chief may leave the Etihad Stadium.
Despite being linked with two of the Premier League's leading lights, Cascarino is not convinced that Rodgers would land either of those two roles, despite having managed Liverpool in the past.
Cascarino told talkSPORT : "I don't think he'd get a top-four job. If I was looking at the major clubs, and I'm looking at teams that I think would be in the top-four, such as Chelsea, Man City, maybe Man United and Liverpool, I don't think he would get any of those jobs.
"I didn't think he would get the Man United job when it was touted around. I don't think that would happen.
"He is not going to get one of those jobs, in my opinion. He is at a very good football club that has invested heavily and the glass ceiling is only because they are having a really indifferent time at the moment."
Since succeeding Claude Puel as Leicester boss almost three years ago, Rodgers has guided the club its first-ever FA Cup crown and two fifth-placed finishes in the Premier League.
