In-demand £90m midfielder ‘wants to join’ Manchester United in summer

Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers is reportedly open to a move to Manchester United in the upcoming summer transfer window, according to sources cited by ICFootballnews, as speculation grows over the club’s attacking rebuild plans ahead of next season.

The midfielder, who has been one of Villa’s standout attacking performers this campaign, is said to be attracting strong interest from several Premier League sides following a breakthrough period under Unai Emery. However, Manchester United are believed to be monitoring his situation closely as they assess options to strengthen their forward line.

Rogers, who joined Villa after spells at Manchester City and Middlesbrough, has developed into a versatile attacking option capable of operating across the front line as well as in advanced midfield roles. His technical ability, dribbling strength, and progressive ball-carrying have made him a key figure in Villa’s attacking structure, particularly in European competition this season.

According to the reports, Rogers is “interested” in the possibility of a move to Old Trafford should the opportunity arise, with Manchester United viewed internally as a club capable of offering both a higher profile stage and a central role in a long-term squad rebuild. However, no formal approach has yet been made.

Manchester United’s recruitment strategy is expected to focus heavily on young, Premier League-proven talent this summer, with the club aiming to add dynamic attacking profiles to complement their existing forward options. Rogers is understood to fit that profile, particularly given his versatility and homegrown status.

At Aston Villa, however, there is no intention to sanction a sale easily. The Midlands club regard Rogers as an important part of their long-term project under Emery, with his development seen as closely tied to Villa’s continued push for Champions League qualification and domestic consistency.

Any potential deal would also be complicated by Villa’s valuation of the player, with internal expectations suggesting a significant fee would be required to even begin negotiations. With Rogers still under a long-term contract, Villa are in a strong negotiating position and are under no financial pressure to sell.

Manchester United’s interest comes amid broader squad planning discussions at Old Trafford, where attacking depth and consistency have been identified as key areas for improvement. While senior forwards remain part of the structure, the club is expected to explore younger, more flexible attacking options capable of operating in multiple systems.

Rogers’ potential availability is likely to depend on both Villa’s end-of-season ambitions and United’s willingness to prioritise his profile over other targets in what is expected to be a competitive summer window.
