Manchester United manager Michael Carrick wants the club to sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa at the end of the season.

He worked with the 23-year-old playmaker during their time together at Middlesbrough, and he has recommended Jason Wilcox to make a move for the player, as per TEAMtalk.

Man United need Morgan Rogers

Rogers is one of the finest young talents in English football right now, and he has been outstanding for Aston Villa. He has registered 27 goals and 24 assists in all competitions for the Premier League club. He will only improve with coaching and experience, and he could develop into an elite playmaker in the Premier League.

Manchester United need a long-term replacement for Bruno Fernandes, and the England International could be the ideal fit for them. They will be hoping to compete with Arsenal and Manchester City next season. They need more quality in the final third. Signing a quality attacking midfielder like Rogers will help them create more opportunities. He is versatile and can play centrally as well as on the flanks. In addition, they should invest in another striker.
