Manchester United's pursuit of Morgan Rogers sees Bayern step back

Summary

Manchester United's interest in Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers appears to be bolstered by Bayern Munich's decision against pursuing him due to his high £80 million price tag. Rogers had a standout season, scoring 14 goals and providing 12 assists, helping Villa secure a fourth-place Premier League finish and win the Europa League. United is keen to strengthen their attack this summer, aiming to alleviate the creative burden on Bruno Fernandes. Despite Vincent Kompany's interest in Rogers for Bayern, financial constraints may hinder any move from the Bundesliga side.
