Morgan Rogers warned against transfer to Man Utd ‘graveyard’ as Aston Villa playmaker is also told why he should avoid Chelsea

Saunders fits into that category, with the former Villa striker telling PariuriX.com of unwelcome transfer rumours: “Morgan Rogers is class. For a big man he really travels well with the ball and he is good in tight areas. He always keeps the ball and gets out of difficult situations and he can score goals as well.

“Honestly, I don’t think Rogers should go anywhere, but I can imagine the conversations when Unai Emery calls him in. Rogers is asking Emery who Aston Villa are planning on signing. He will say, ‘if you want me to stay, who are we signing? Are we shopping in Lidl or an expensive store?’

“You need the players if they want to take the next step. Their hands have been tied to their backs with Financial Fair Play, but the owners have to sign players if they want to reach the next level. Why didn’t they sign Julian Alvarez? They need players like that. Why are they not signing the best players in the world?

“They are playing three times a week and the squad has done exceptionally well, and it wasn’t really expected, but they should do even more.”
