Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has been told to avoid leaving the club this summer.

Villa have reportedly placed a £100M asking price on Rogers ahead of the summer which is yet to ward off Manchester United and Chelsea who are frontrunners to sign the England star.

It has been claimed that both clubs will make a big push for Rogers once the World Cup is over as the 23-year-old leads the Three Lions midfielder in the US, Mexico and Canada. 

Despite interest from top club, Dean Saunders revealed to PariuriX that he believes Rogers should stick with Villa for at least another season. 

“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?’ 

“United and Chelsea are being mentioned with Rogers, but Aston Villa are better than both of them. I wouldn't recommend him joining them. We have seen what is happening when you are moving to Man United. It is like a graveyard. 

“It looks like they are going in the right direction, and they have gotten rid of a lot of the players with a bad attitude, but they had to hit rock bottom before doing so. Now, they can sign players who want to play when it is cold.” 

Rogers has tallied 10 goals and five assists for Villa this season and would slide into both Chelsea and United’s midfield with ease. 

Rogers, Sandro Tonali, Elliot Anderson and Carlos Baleba have all been linked with United and Chelsea and as the summer approaches it will be interesting to see where each player ends up.
