Manchester United have officially entered the race for Aston Villa's attacking leader Morgan Rogers.
Details: According to indykaila News, the Red Devils have already reached out to the Birmingham club's management to kick off negotiations. The 23-year-old versatile forward is being treated as a top priority to strengthen United's attacking line, but Aston Villa's financial demands could become a major stumbling block in sealing the deal.
The Birmingham club has slapped a hefty £90 million price tag on their star player. Despite the sky-high valuation, Manchester United remain determined and are willing to discuss payment structures to land the talented Englishman.
Morgan Rogers himself is reportedly extremely keen on a move to Old Trafford, but he has set a key condition. The player is ready to greenlight the transfer only if Manchester United secure Champions League football for next season.
This season, the midfielder has featured in 45 matches across all competitions for the Birmingham side, notching up 10 goals and 7 assists. Transfermarkt values him at €80 million.
Reminder: Top English clubs are targeting Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi this season.
