Manchester United will reportedly challenge Liverpool and Chelsea for Aston Villa superstar Morgan Rogers, with a journalist fearing Unai Emery\u2019s desire to keep him will be \u2018severely tested\u2019 this summer.<\/p>\n
Rogers<\/a> has been a phenomenon since joining Villa from Middlesbrough in February 2024, having notched 26 goals and 24 assists in 104 appearances so far. Villa look set to make huge profit if they sell the attacking midfielder, having forked out a very modest \u00a315million fee to bring him in two years ago.<\/p>\n Rogers has displayed deadly finishing, exceptional close control and fantastic vision to elevate Villa\u2019s attack under Emery.<\/p>\n England boss Thomas Tuchel has incredible options for the No 10 role, including Jude Bellingham, Cole Palmer and Phil Foden, but Rogers is firmly in with a shout of starting at the World Cup.<\/p>\n Villa have managed to tie the 23-year-old down until June 2031, and they see him as a cornerstone of their project.
