Man Utd target Morgan Rogers wants Champions League football According to Sky Sport CH journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Man Utd have already enquired about the 23-year-old’s availability in the summer. Aston Villa have set their asking price at £90 million, but the source expects them to reflect on offers starting from £80 million. For his part, Rogers is said to be ‘open’ to joining United.
However, he is keen to play in the Champions League next season, so the Reds’ ability to land the player could hinge on a Top-5 finish. Moreover, Tavolieri warns the Old Trafford outfit of familiar competition from Chelsea, who are also hot on the England international’s trail. But with the Blues trailing in the Champions League race, MUFC might have a significant advantage over their rivals in the summer.
Which roles could Rogers occupy at Man United? Morgan Rogers is a Manchester City academy product who was sold to Middlesbrough for just £1 million in the summer of 2023. The attacking midfielder enjoyed a positive yet brief spell under Michael Carrick’s tutelage, providing seven goals and nine assists in 33 appearances.
