Brendan Rodgers has agreed to become Manchester United manager
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s position at Manchester United look very uncertain at the moment. Despite heavy investments in the summer transfer window, the Norwegian boss has failed to revive the fortunes of the club. The Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League table, having lost four matches so far. One of their most humiliating defeats came last month when Liverpool stunned them by claiming a 5-0 victory. However, United’s performance against Manchester City on Saturday was also highly disappointing as Pep Guardiola’s side completely dominated them to earn an easy 2-0 win. Solskjaer is under huge pressure following this defeat and his position at Old Trafford look very precarious now. According to CaughtOffside, Brendan Rodgers has verbally agree...

Ralf Rangnick interested to become Manchester United manager
Pressure is back on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after Manchester United’s 2-0 loss against Manchester City on Saturday. The Old Trafford match looked completely one-sided as Eric Bailly conceded an own goal before Bernardo Silva added another to make it a comfortable victory for City. The 48-year-old’s position at Old Trafford has been uncertain since their 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool last month. The Norwegian boss led his side to a 3-0 victory over Tottenham last weekend before being held to a 2-2 draw by Atalanta in the Champions League. Now Solskjaer is under intense scrutiny again after Saturday’s humiliating home defeat against Pep Guardiola’s side. The Red Devils have now been dropped to fifth in the Premier League table and are currently nine point...
Norwich City dismiss Daniel Farke as manager despite victory at Brentford
Norwich City have sacked Daniel Farke as their manager, despite winning Saturday’s league match against Brentford. The German football expert was under huge pressure after his side made a terrible start to the 2021-22 season. They lost their initial six league matches to remain in the relegation zone from the beginning of the campaign. The 45-year-old led the Yellows to two draws against Burnley and Brighton in October. However, the subsequent 7-0 thrashing at Chelsea and the 2-1 home defeat against Leeds United left them without a single league win. That changed on Saturday when Mathias Normann and Teemu Pukki scored to claim a 2-1 victory against Brentford. However, the German manager was still sacked from his position at Carrow Road just hours after the league wi...
