Who is United-linked Santiago Castro?

Castro, an Under-20 Argentine international, is attracting interest in the lead-up to the summer window after impressing over in Italy this term.

In the 44 appearances that the 21-year-old has made across all competitions, he has returned 11 goals and four assists.

It goes without saying that he’ll be desperate to add to his tally in the Midlands this evening, as Villa lead 3-1 heading into the return fixture on their home soil.

United keeping tabs on coveted Morgan Rogers

As well as the Buenos Aires native, you’d imagine that United and Chelsea chiefs will be taking the opportunity to see how Morgan Rogers fares in such a high-stakes outing.

He has been linked with both Premier League sides in recent weeks, with reports suggesting the attacker is keen to depart Villa in search of a new venture in the coming months, irrespective of whether they qualify for the Champions League.

It’s also been claimed by Sky Sports that Rogers would be open to making the switch to Old Trafford, despite his previous ties with Manchester City, whose books he was on from 2019 until his permanent move to Middlesbrough in 2023.

In what could well be his final season in claret and blue, the 13-capped England star has returned 10 goals and eight assists in 46 appearances thus far.
