Brendan Rodgers, the manager of Leicester City, has issued a warning to Manchester United after relocating to Cheshire, just 13 miles from Old Trafford.
The former Liverpool manager was hunting for a nice address and has now found one in Wilmslow, which shares a postcode with some of the game's biggest names, including Manchester United's Marcus Rashford.
According to the Sun Online, his new home is quite a distance from the Foxes training field, leading to suspicion that he would be interested in a job in the Manchester area next. Although Mauricio Pochettino and Erik Ten Hag appear to be the frontrunners to replace interim head coach Ralf Rangnick in the summer, Rodgers has previously been connected with the Red Devils post.
This revelation comes amid much speculation over the current Leicester manager's future after the club was knocked out of the FA Cup by Nottingham Forest and has had a poor run of form.
On Thursday evening, the Foxes were also defeated 2-0 by Liverpool.
Rodgers had previously criticised some of his players of lacking hunger and stated that some of them'may have achieved everything they can' before to that match. Rodgers' choice to go public with his criticism raised concerns that it will backfire with a group of players he has previously stated he wants to replace in the summer.
'I've never felt that dread,' Rodgers stated ahead of his side's match against West Ham.
'Only because the players are aware that I provide them with everything.' 'Most, if not all, of these players will have signed new contracts since the first day I stepped in here.' Their games have improved, their living conditions have improved, and we believe we have developed the players to improve, without being arrogant. 'However, we must maintain our desire to scale the mountains.' You must be hungry and willing to prove a point in order to do so. If that falls, they know I'll let them know. So I didn't have any apprehensions about it.' Perhaps in today's game, where people feel compelled to always protect. As a player, you are responsible.' The manager is ultimately responsible: he selects the players and the strategies, thus whatever the outcome, the manager bears responsibility.' But I've got an honest group of players who know I'll always be on the lookout for them and strive to help them reach their full potential. 'However, I believe that sometimes you have to be tough in order to be clear. 'I believe we saw a reaction [in the 2-0 loss to Liverpool].'
