Morgan Rogers has emerged as a target for Manchester United ahead of the summer transfer window, according to The Times.

Premier League interest in the Aston Villa attacker has continued to grow.

The England winger, who can operate in midfield, is understood to be on the radar of several top clubs, including Arsenal and Chelsea, with Villa expected to demand a fee in excess of £80 million.

It has already been revealed that Manchester United plan to sign a left-winger in attempt to bolster their attack this summer.

Rogers has enjoyed a standout campaign, establishing himself as one of the most dynamic attacking players in the league.

His ability to operate across multiple positions – including the left wing, right wing and centrally – makes him an attractive option for clubs looking to add versatility to their frontline.

The Red Devils’ interest comes at a time when they are expected to bring in players in wide areas.

It has already been reported that Manchester United are in for Yan Diomande but interest from French giants Paris Saint-Germain makes any potential deal more difficult than it already is.

With uncertainty surrounding Rashford’s long-term future and a lack of consistent options on the left flank, adding a player of Rogers’ profile could address a key weakness in the squad.

The 23-year-old offers a blend of physicality and technical quality, often carrying the ball over long distances and driving his team up the pitch.

His direct style, combined with his ability to contribute both goals and assists, has made him a key figure for Aston Villa this season.

What also sets Morgan Rogers apart is his adaptability.

Whether deployed as a winger or in a more central attacking role, he has consistently found ways to influence games, often thriving in transitional moments where his pace and power come to the fore.

Villa, however, remain in a strong negotiating position.

With the player under contract and playing a central role in their project, they are under no immediate pressure to sell – hence the significant valuation placed on him.

For Manchester United, this represents another signal of intent heading into the summer.

The club are actively identifying players capable of elevating their attacking output, and Rogers’ profile aligns closely with that objective.

As interest intensifies across the Premier League, the race for his signature could become one of the more closely watched storylines of the upcoming window.
