Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish insists manager Brendan Rodgers' future is not under threat even though it is looking increasingly unlikely the club will not finish in the top four this season.

The Reds were also dumped out of the FA Cup by Aston Villa in last weekend's semi-final at Wembley, making it three years without a trophy for the Northern Irishman since taking over at Anfield.

Soon-to-be departing Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp has been linked with replacing Rodgers and the 42-year-old was forced to defend his abilities, insisting that he is the best man to lead Liverpool next season.

And Dalglish, who spent 13 years as a player at Liverpool before managing the club for seven years during two spells, is certain Rodgers will remain manager next season.

'At every club next year there will be changes - of players, managers, everything,' Dalglish wrote in his Daily Mirror column of Saturday. 'So it may not be anything originally happening at Liverpool, but let's be clear - any changes will not involve Brendan Rodgers.

'Whether they were successful in the FA Cup or not wouldn't have made a difference to where they want to go next year and what business they want to do. Personally I don't see their being too many changes.'

'For now they just have to push forward and try to get fourth spot. It will be difficult but I don't think it's gone. I'm sure the players believe they can get there and will have the desire to get there as well.'
