United's loss to Arsenal in the Premier League saw them slip further down to 15th on the table as they continue to search for their first win at the Theatre of Dreams this season.
The former league winners also lost to Turkish side Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League by 2-1 in midweek.
Several reports have now stated that United are in touch with Pochettino's representative as a possible replacement for Solskjaer.
However, ex-United forward Brazil thinks otherwise and believes Rodgers should be given to manage at the very highest level once again.
Brazil told talkSPORT:
“I’d give Brendan the job at Manchester United.
“If Ole is to go then I would look no further than Rodgers.
“He’s done a brilliant job at Leicester. Yes, he’s had money, but I don’t care, look at the table as well.
“He is top class.”
United will be guests at Goodison Park to face Everton in a Premier League clash and a bad result will further mount pressure on Solskjaer before the international break.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has declined to comment on his Man United's future following the club's humbling at Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday night, November 4.
Basaksehir condemned United to a 2-1 defeat in a tough Champions League match played at Faith Terim Stadium.
Goals from ex-Chelsea star Demba Ba and Edin Visca were enough to guide the Turkish giants to victory, with Anthony Martial scoring United's consolation.
