United’s rearguard looks set for a summer revamp after the disastrous 2021-2022 campaign. The Red Devils conceded 57 goals en route to sixth place in the Premier League. They have been linked with many players, with new manager Erik ten Hag holding his first press conference on Monday.

Rio Ferdinand feels Manchester United should look to sign right-back Max Aarons following Norwich City’s relegation to the Championship.

With the Canaries finishing rock bottom of the standings, they will ply their trade in the second tier next term. Therefore Aarons should be available at a decent price.

“Someone like Max Aarons you could put him like a Chris Smalling-type signing where they come in and they have an impact,” he said on his Vibe with FIVE YouTube show.

“They may not be straight starters immediately but they go and they stay there for 10 years and have a really good career and they impact the club at different levels.”

Aarons looks a terrific prospect and is surely too good to be playing in the Championship, so a move away from Norwich makes sense after their relegation this season.

The 22-year-old has been linked with both United and Arsenal by the Sun recently, who stated he could cost around £20million.
