Aston Villa and Manchester United are both keen on acquiring the services of Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson.
Antonee Robinson’s future has become an interesting talking point thanks to his consistent performances for Fulham. While the Cottagers are reluctant to let him leave, rival clubs could try to lure him away this summer.
According to a report from SportsBoom, Manchester United and Aston Villa are ready to battle it out for his signature. Both clubs want to bolster the left-back position, and they consider the American international an ideal fit for their setup.
Robinson was a part of the Everton youth setup before he left the club to join Wigan Athletic in search of a prominent role. After making a name for himself, the 28-year-old ended up joining Fulham in the summer of 2020 in a deal worth around £2 million.
He has only gone from strength to strength since joining the Cottagers. Robinson helped them secure promotion to the top flight back in the day and has been a consistent performer over the years. While injuries have troubled him of late, he remains an integral part of their plans.
With his contract running until 2028, Fulham do have a lot of control over his future. However, there is a lot of interest in his services, and they might struggle to keep hold of him.
Premier League duo are after Robinson
His pace, reliability and Premier League experience make him a standout candidate for Manchester United and Aston Villa, who are looking to strengthen the left flank. While the Red Devils do have Luke Shaw in their ranks, he has struggled to stay fit, and other options haven’t been that reliable.
As a result, United are keen on signing the 28-year-old in a potential deal worth £25 million. The Manchester-based club are not the only ones who are keeping tabs on him; even Aston Villa have been monitoring him very closely.
Unai Emery seeks an upgrade on the left flank and would love to have the 50-cap American international in their squad. With both clubs keen on his signature, it will be interesting to see if Fulham can keep hold of him beyond this season.
