However, according to the Independent, Norwich will resist any offers for Aarons this summer, with the Canaries having no desire to sell the youngster ahead of their return to the Premier League.
Norwich are under no pressure to sell with Aarons, who has also attracted attention from Chelsea and Arsenal, having only signed a five-year contract in October, with the club keen to keep the highly-rated defender at the club following his rapid progression since breaking into the first-team last season.
United’s priority remains a deal for Wan-Bissaka, who has established himself as one of the Premier League’s finest young defenders at Selhurst Park.
