Manchester United are believed to be leading Arsenal in the race to sign Norwich City defender Max Aarons this summer, which may cause some consternation for incoming boss Erik ten Hag.
Reports from The Sun claim United are one of the favourites to sign the £20m-rated Aarons at the end of the current campaign. The 22-year-old defender has once again been a bright spark for the Canaries in an otherwise frustrating Premier League campaign and, with interest from Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Arsenal, it is no surprise that Man United have entered the running.
However, news of their pursuit could very well come as quite an unwelcome surprise to Erik ten Hag, who is expected to become the club’s fifth permanent manager since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. The club's apparent interest could very well risk angering the Dutchman, who has emphasised a strong desire to have an important say in transfers when he moves to Old Trafford.
