Brendan Rodgers IS 'a good fit' for Manchester United but Cristiano Ronaldo and fellow superstars may not buy into his ideas... claims the Leicester boss' former Liverpool pupil Glen Johnson

Brendan Rodgers would make a good fit as the man to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager of Manchester United, but may take some work in persuading the club's big names that he is ready for the reins, according to Glen Johnson.

Johnson played under Rodgers during his spell as Anfield boss, coming close to winning the Premier League title with the northern Irishman during the 2013-14 season.

The former full back knows all about Rodgers' mannerisms and methodologies and feels that he can cut the cloth at Old Trafford, though admits he may face an upwards battle from the off.
