Steve McManaman has suggested that former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, would be well-equipped for the Manchester United job.
The 49-year-old did note, however, that the Foxes boss’ prior employment could ‘be too much for everybody’.
“I can’t see Brendan going there,” the ex-Real Madrid star told HorseRacing.net (via Leicestershire Live). “I think he’s got the credentials, yes, but I think his history with Liverpool would be too much for everybody.”
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer remains in the Old Trafford hotseat despite a poor spate of recent results, including a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Jurgen Klopp’s men before suffering a derby defeat to their city rivals in the following home game.
The idea of any former Liverpool boss making the journey over to a rival hardly bears thinking about; a switch to United specifically, however, represents a line crossed.
There have been some mixed reactions on the Twittersphere from the fanbase when it comes to the prospect of the Northern Irishman linking up with Manchester-based outfit.
Nonetheless, we at the EOTK fondly remember the 2013/14 nearly campaign and would consider our memories of Rodgers somewhat tarnished were he to take up a potentially vacant position at the Theatre of Dreams.
It’s not an eventuality we can realistically see occurring and we’re hopeful that the 48-year-old won’t be surprising us any time soon.
