According to a recent report by the Metro, Premier League giants Manchester United are said to be eyeing up a summer move for Crystal Palace’s prodigious English full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, in the view of potentially replacing the likes of Antonio Valencia and Matteo Darmian in the squad.
It has been suggested that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has his heart set on the youngster and is expecting the United board to deliver his demand. It has been reported that United already made an initial bid in the region of £40m
which was rejected by the Eagles.
Although the asking price set by the Selhurst Park the club is fairly high, it only seems fair considering the season he had in England last time out. Manchester United will be expected to shell out up to £60m for the youngster’s services and despite being a steep figure, it would definitely be a long-term investment.
Although this is the case, should this deal fall apart in the coming weeks, it would be smart to have a back-up plan and that’s exactly what Max Aarons seems to be at this point in time. It has been suggested in the report that United will turn to the young Englishman should the Wan-Bissaka deal not take shape this summer.
United’s current right-back options certainly won’t be enough to take them all the way next season and that’s why ensuring that they’re able to convince one of them to sign must become a priority.
Aarons was a product of the Norwich City Academy, where he joined as a teenager after coming through the ranks at Luton Town. Since making the switch to Norwich in 2016, he’s gone on to become a key member of the Canaries side.
Under the able guidance of Daniel Farke, the youngster has reached levels that nobody thought would be possible at such a young age. He makes excellent darting runs forward but still has the presence of mind to track back and help out in tight scenarios.

Still only 19, Max Aarons has more than three years left on his current contract at Carrow Road. His figures from last season read 2 goals and 6 assists from 41 league appearances. These numbers further signify his quality and he would be a massive addition to this United side.
Despite his tender age, the youngster has shown great maturity and composure to break into the Norwich side and keep his place and he’s certainly destined for greatness if he does join United in the summer.
