EPL: Brendan Rodgers reacts to speculations of replacing Solskjaer at Man Utd

 

Leicester City boss, Brendan Rodgers, has responded to speculations linking him to Manchester United’s managerial job.

The Northern Ireland gaffer said the speculations are ‘not real’ and insist he is fully focused on Leicester City.

Rodgers has been listed by several reports as the replacement for Ole Gunnar Soskjaer who is currently under pressure at Old Trafford.

But when asked about the speculations during Thursday’s press conference, Rodgers dismissed it as ‘disrespectful’ to Solskjaer.

“Firstly, it’s really disrespectful for you to ask the question when there is a manager in place at the club. A good manager and a good man who is working at the club,” Rodgers said ahead of Saturday’s clash with Chelsea.

“Secondly, I can’t really comment on it because it’s not real. I’m proud to be here at Leicester City. I’m privileged to be here and I’m fully committed to the players, the club and the ownership. All the other noise is something we can’t control.

“The only thing I’m thinking about is Chelsea and getting ready for that.

“It’s obviously frustrating for supporters and my players. If anyone were to read anything that is out there then it can destabilise.

“It’s something that is in the modern game, much more now, lots of speculation, lots of gossips. But is all part of the game and is something I have no focus on whatsoever.”
