Morgan Rogers Reveals Man Utd Let Midfielder Similar to Rashford Go
Morgan Rogers has drawn attention to similarities between his playing style and that of Paul Pogba, a former teammate of Marcus Rashford at Manchester United. Both players have shared the pitch during their international careers with England.
Rashford’s Loan Spell and Departure from Manchester United
Marcus Rashford, currently on loan at Barcelona, had a turbulent period at Manchester United. During the latter half of the 2024-25 season, he was loaned to Aston Villa after a falling out with then-manager Ruben Amorim.
- Loan duration: Six months
- Matches played: 17
- Goals scored: 4
- Assists: 6
Despite his impressive statistics, Villa opted against making Rashford’s loan permanent, leading to further uncertainty regarding his future.
Comparing Playing Styles
In an interview with BBC Sport, Morgan Rogers praised both Paul Pogba and Yaya Toure for their midfield prowess. He noted that he admires players who exhibit a strong work ethic and a carefree attitude on the pitch.
Rogers said, “Players like Pogba and Toure have the ability and running power that I seek to emulate.” While he acknowledges their superior talent, he identifies specific parallels in their playing methods.
Pogba’s Journey through Manchester United
Pogba returned to Manchester United in 2016 for a record fee of £89.3 million but left in 2022 after his contract expired, rejoining Juventus on a free transfer. His time at United was marked by highs and lows, sparking debates about his legacy at the club.
Conclusion: Looking Ahead
As both Rogers and Rashford navigate their careers, their experiences at Manchester United will undoubtedly influence their paths. Fans continue to speculate on Rashford’s future, especially after his loan period and the managerial changes at Old Trafford.
With the landscape of football ever-changing, the parallels drawn by Rogers may serve as a motivating force for aspiring midfielders looking to carve out their own identities on the pitch.
