Max Aarons caught the attention of giant clubs such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich, with his consistent performances.
Though Norwich couldn’t stay up in the top-flight on their return, Max Aarons was one of the standout players for his side along with Todd Cantwell and Buendia. Aarons was defensively sound and joined the attack too for Daniel Farke’s men.
In the previous season, he had 54 completed crosses to his name along with 100 blocks and 20 interceptions. In the ongoing season, the player has 112 crosses to his name in the Championship.
Owing to his consistent performances, Norwich City looks like a serious contender for promotion. He has been a key figure in their success this season. They lead the second-placed Brentford by four points and have a game in hand.
The Canaries have put a hefty price tag of €35 million for their player. Bayern Munich were interested in the young fullback and were warned by Norwich they will have to shell out the huge asking price for the right-back. This has opened up the race to sign Aarons.
The Red Devils are looking to lure the player to Old Trafford to provide competition for Aaron Wan Bissaka. However, they might relook their transfer plans as they have multiple spots to fill in the upcoming transfer window that should take preference over RB cover.
According to recent rumors, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking for a center-back to pair Harry Maguire as well as a prolific striker to lead the line and challenge the rest of the forward line for a starting spot.
