Manchester United-linked Brendan Rodgers 'buys home near Old Trafford'

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has bought a home near Old Trafford, according to a report.

The 49-year-old has been linked with the Manchester United managerial job, with the club set to be looking for a new permanent boss at the end of the season following Ralf Rangnick's interim role comes to an end.

Several other names have also been associated with the position, including Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino and Erik Ten Hag, who is currently in charge of Ajax.

According to Sun Online, Rodgers has now bought himself a new home that is just 13 miles away from Old Trafford, sparking further fuel to the fire of links between himself and the Red Devils.

The house is a lengthy commute to the Leicester City training ground, with his new base being in Wilmslow, which is where Marcus Rashford lives.

Leicester City will be back in action on Thursday in the Europa Conference League when they face Randers.
