Manchester United planning to sign Fulham star Antonee Robinson
Manchester United They have reportedly registered their interest in signing Fulham star Antonee Robinson, according to the transfer insider Dean Jones.
The Red Devils struggled at left-back due to the injury absences of Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia last season, but things haven't improved this season either, with the duo remaining sidelined due to their respective issues. As a result, Erik the Hag He has been forced to use Diogo Dalot on the left side of the defence.
Now, in Give me sport, Jones Man Utd have been frustrated by Shaw's continued fitness problems and have made it their priority to sign a new left-back to provide cover for the Englishman.
The Red Devils have identified Robinson as a key option and are “seriously looking” to make a bid to sign him in the upcoming winter window. Fulham reportedly want around £35m for the American international, so Ten Hag’s side can secure his signature for a reasonable fee.
Robinson to Manchester United
However, Jones claims Robinson is not the only option on Ten Hag's wishlist, with AFC Bournemouth's Milos Kerkez also on United's radar, while they are also interested in Stade Brestois' Bradley Locko.
However, the journalist says Arsenal, Tottenham Hot spur, Chelsea and Aston Villa They are also interested in Kerkez, so it won't be easy for United to secure the Hungarian's signature if they decide to sign him.
Robinson is an attack-minded full-back who can make excellent crosses from the flanks. He is also efficient in his defensive contributions and extremely quick.
The 27-year-old has proven his qualities in the Premier League in recent times and could be a shrewd acquisition for the record Premier League champions if they buy him.
However, it will be interesting to see who Manchester United ultimately opt to sign to reinforce their left-back position next year.
Meanwhile, United entered the international break on the back of back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Hove Albion and Liverpool and now face Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday.
Ten Hag has been under tremendous pressure at the moment and cannot afford to think about anything other than a win in this weekend's encounter.
