Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola commented before the upcoming match against Birmingham's Aston Villa that the club does not need new defenders and praised the opponent's player Morgan Rogers, who previously belonged to the "Citizens":

"I don't think we need to buy more center-backs because we have quite a few."

We signed two young defenders in January, but we will see how it goes."

"M. Rogers was in the 'Man City' second team and sometimes trained with the first team.

We saw something in him that could lead to something great. But the impact that the Englishman has on the Aston Villa team... What a player he is. We had a great footballer here before, without a doubt."

22-year-old Morgan Rogers was part of the "Citizens" team from 2019 to 2023 but did not debut in the main team.

This season, the midfielder scored 14 goals in 48 matches.
