Overview
- Michael Carrick has urged football director Jason Wilcox to move for the 23-year-old, and United now view him as their preferred option on the left.
- Villa are open to a sale this summer, with Yahoo Sports citing Ben Jacobs on an £80m-plus price and Football Insider reporting a £100m demand.
- Arsenal, Chelsea and Paris Saint‑Germain are also pursuing the winger, according to multiple reports.
- Rogers has delivered about 21 goal contributions this season, and his long November 2025 contract strengthens Villa’s hand in talks.
- United’s Champions League push and Villa’s reported interest in Marcus Rashford as a left-sided alternative are described as factors that could speed a deal.
