Rogers, 23, scored a sensational opening goal as he curled his shot past the goalkeeper.
United managed to equalize before halftime, but they couldn't silence the midfielder.
The former Middlesbrough player struck again, skillfully maneuvering past a few United defenders before bending another shot into the net.
On our YouTube show, our expert Dean Scoggins believes Rogers effectively neutralized Amorim’s strategy.
Magic Morgan
Rogers proved to be the game-changer against United with his outstanding display.
What was most impressive was that he accomplished this with only 32 touches of the ball.
He demonstrated remarkable maturity by drifting into a central “corridor” to find space between United players.
His winning goal showcased his composure.
The Red Devils failed to close him down, allowing him to curl his shot into the top corner.
Amorim’s ‘Magic 8-Ball’
Amorim surprised many with his “magic 8-ball” setup, featuring three number eights in the starting XI.
These included Bruno Fernandes, and Matheus Cunha playing in a line.
While it did work to some extent by stifling Villa’s services, the team ultimately suffered from defensive lapses.
Man Utd Target Lindelof
United faced a familiar adversary in Lindelof, who was lining up for Villa.
The Swede spent eight years at Old Trafford before being released by the club and moving on.
Lindelof was intentionally targeted by his former teammates, with Mount and others trying to pull him out of position.
Fight, Kamara, Action
Kamara was one of Villa’s key players in the match against United.
He served as the tactical trigger in his “anchor” role in midfield.
It was up to the Frenchman to indicate to the other players when to press or hold back.
The former Marseille player ensured that Villa maintained the necessary combativeness and discipline to secure the victory.
