Rodgers extends his support to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

With Leicester about to face Chelsea on Saturday, Rodgers talked about the preparations for the match while giving his thoughts on the situation with Manchester United.

“There’s two things. Firstly, it’s really disrespectful for you to ask the question when you have a manager [Ole Gunnar Solskjaer] in place, a good manager and a good man, who is working for the club.”

“Secondly, I can’t really comment on it because it is something that is not real. I am here as the Leicester City manager, I’m proud to be here, privileged to be here and fully committed to the players, the club, the ownership,” said Rodgers.

With the pressure that the United boss is currently under, the constant criticism on his job is being brutal towards the Solskjaer.

Likewise, there are many rumors that he would be replaced soon enough. The presence of Zinedine Zidane in the market would be a tempting signing, but United officials stay put on their decision to back the manager. Hence, Ole’s got the support of the hierarchy at United.

What happened to the title contenders from last season will be a mystery. A team thought to be on the rise had a significant downfall in recent games. Automatically, the pressure comes to the manager as Solskjaer is facing the wrath of the fans. After they signed Ronaldo, the club was expected to rise to the top of the table. But, things have gone down south.
