Brendan Rodgers set to become new Manchester United boss?

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers reportedly has a verbal agreement to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United.

The Northern Irishman has been linked with a number of high-profile English clubs, and it now appears that he could be headed to United.

The Red Devils recently suffered a derby defeat to Manchester City. They have picked up just four points from a possible 18.

Owing to this, the hierarchy are considering parting ways with Solskjaer, and Rodgers has now been touted to replace him.

According to Caught Offside, Solskjaer could be axed in the near future with Rodgers verbally agreeing to take the hot seat.

Rodgers has previously dismissed speculation over his future, but he has yet to do something similar amid United's pursuit.

The next few days could give a clear indication whether there is any truth to the story. It could be an ideal time to make a change.

With an international break coming up, United may feel the need to change things with Solskjaer not living up to expectations.
