Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers concedes he could lose James Maddison to Manchester United in January.

Since his arrival in the Premier League, the England U21 international has continued to impress, with reports suggesting that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen to land the playmaker.

Rodgers, who became manager of the 2015-16 Premier League champions in February this year, conceded that keeping hold of his 70m-rated star man may prove difficult.

He said: "I've been fortunate that I've been at Liverpool where I understand the draw of that type of club. Liverpool and Manchester United are two of the biggest clubs by far.

"There's other great clubs, there's big clubs, but those two, in terms of worldwide status, are above the other clubs."
