He featured last night but was unable to have a notable impact during Villa’s first-leg Europa League semi-final away to Nottingham Forest.

However, he has overseen a stellar campaign thus far, having returned 12 goals and nine assists in 50 appearances across all competitions.

United are said to admire the 23-year-old’s versatility, with Rogers able to ‘slot into the left-wing position’ if he isn’t utilised in his usual role in midfield.

INEOS targeting Yan Diomande as well as Rogers

The England international isn’t the only forward United are considering, either, as Yan Diomande remains a firm option that INEOS could move for.

Diomande, 19, has notched 13 goals and nine assists in 33 appearances across the Bundesliga and the DFB Cup.

RB Leipzig will do their utmost to keep hold of the coveted teenager, especially given they’ve only had him in the ranks since last July, but they would reportedly consider facilitating his exit if they can secure a lucrative transfer fee in return.
