Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is reportedly being eyed by Manchester United as a potential successor for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Solskjaer is currently under immense pressure to turn United's fortunes around after a miserable start to the season.
The club have opted to stick with the Norwegian for now despite their humiliating 5-0 loss to Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.
United's next three games against Tottenham, Atalanta and Manchester City are likely to determine Solskjaer's fate.
ESPN have now reported that Rodgers, despite his past links to Liverpool, is now ahead of Antonio Conte in the race to replace Solskjaer.
