Morgan Rogers has become one of the hottest names in the Premier League this season, and it's no surprise that Manchester United are reportedly preparing to make a strong move for the Aston Villa star. The 23-year-old attacking midfielder has been in sensational form, helping Villa push for a Champions League spot with his dazzling dribbling and clinical finishing.
But here's the twist: Villa might not even wait to see if they secure European football before cashing in on their talisman. According to journalist Ben Jacobs, the club is seriously considering selling Rogers this summer, with a price tag of £80 million or more. That figure could rise even higher if a bidding war erupts, with Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain also circling the England international.
Rogers, who can also play as a left winger, isn't pushing for a move—but Villa see this as the perfect time to maximize his value. Jamie Redknapp, the Sky Sports pundit, recently called him "one of the world's best" midfield players, and it's easy to see why. His ability to beat defenders and strike the ball with precision has made him a nightmare for opposition defenses.
For United, Rogers represents a left-sided option to add width to their attack, something they've been lacking. With Matheus Cunha thriving more as an inside forward, the Red Devils are eager to bring in a natural winger. And here's the intriguing part: Sky Sports reports that Rogers is open to a move to Old Trafford—but only if United qualify for the Champions League. With Michael Carrick's side all but securing that after a win over Brentford, the path could be clear.
Carrick, who managed Rogers during his time at Middlesbrough, is reportedly keen to reunite with the Villa star if he lands the permanent job at United. That connection could be the key to unlocking this blockbuster transfer. For now, all eyes are on Villa Park as the summer saga begins.
