Manchester United might look to sign 27-year-old American wide player Antonee Robinson from West London club Fulham in the January transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Antonee Robinson is the subject of interest from Manchester United. The Red Devils are mulling over signing a left-back in the winter transfer window and have identified the Fulham wide player as a potential target. Meanwhile, the West London club demanded around £35 million to part ways with the USMNT international this past summer.
Antonee Robinson and his Fulham journey so far
Antonee Robinson has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League since Fulham returned to the top flight a few years ago. The American defender was not up to the task in the West London club’s previous spell in the Premier League, which ended after only one season.
The 27-year-old has turned out over 150 times thus far for Fulham while chipping in with three goals and 14 assists. In addition, Robinson has been a regular for the USA, making nearly 50 appearances thus far for his national team.
Meanwhile, Antonee Robinson’s progress at the West London club has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Manchester United might be the next destination for the USMNT international, with the Red Devils weighing up a winter approach.
Manchester United want Robinson
Manchester United considered signing Antonee Robinson in the summer transfer window but did not proceed with a bid. However, the Red Devils remain keen on landing the American wide player, and their interest in him makes sense, considering Tyrell Malacia’s never-ending fitness horrors.
In addition, Luke Shaw has struggled to remain fit for long periods in the last 12 months. So, Robinson is a viable target, although Manchester United have also identified Milos Kerkez and Bradley Locko as candidates to bolster the left-back department. Meanwhile, Fulham demanded around £35 million to part ways with the USMNT international in the summer transfer window.
It is unclear if Fulham will demand a sum similar to £35 million to part ways with Robinson in the winter transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United launch the offensive to sign the 27-year-old from the West London club in January.
