Leicester winger Harvey Barnes has admitted that manager Brendan Rodgers hammered home his commitment to the club at the time of extensive reports linking him with Manchester United.
As United's woes towards the back end of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's tenure worsened, Rodgers, before United had even sacked Solskjaer, was being heavily linked with succeeding him at Old Trafford.
Rodgers, who has previously managed Liverpool, has overseen an impressive job at the King Power Stadium since succeeding Claude Puel as Foxes manager in February 2019, winning the FA Cup and guiding the club to back-to-back fifth-placed finishes in the Premier League, meaning his stock has significantly risen since taking charge in the Midlands.
