Manchester United to switch attention to teenage Norwich City sensation Max Aarons

Manchester United will turn their attention to Norwich City teenager Max Aarons if they fail to sign Crystal Palace full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka, according to Sky Sports.

United had a £40million bid for Wan-Bissaka rejected last week and are reportedly preparing a second bid for the England Under-21 international.

Should the Red Devils not meet Palace’s £60million valuation of the 21-year-old, it is claimed that they will then make a move for 19-year-old Aarons.

The former Luton Town man was a key member of Norwich’s Championship title-winning squad and was named the EFL Young Player of the Season and in the Championship team of the year.

Wan-Bissaka has hardly put a foot wrong since breaking into Palace’s first-team.

Having signed a new four-year deal last October, the Canaries are under no immediate pressure to sell Aarons but sporting director Stuart Webber has warned that every player has a price.

Making his league debut in the East Anglian Derby last September, Aarons went on to play 40 more times for Daniel Farke’s side last term – chipping in with two goals and six assists.

A promising start to the season saw him called up to the England Under-19 side for the first time in September 2018.
