Manchester United are discussing a move to sign Fulham star Antonee Robinson this summer, according to journalist Sebastien Vidal.
The Red Devils are expected to prioritise moves to strengthen their midfield this summer, while it's also understood that a new left-winger is set to be targeted following the sacking of Ruben Amorim and the team reverting to a back-four system as a result.
However, left-back is another position that is being looked at by club staff ahead of the summer transfer window, and a familiar face is now someone being considered as a potential option to come in to Old Trafford.
Man Utd Eyeing Robinson

Robinson has had a mixed campaign at Craven Cottage this year, suffering with a number of injuries which have restricted him to just 13 appearances in the Premier League, with ten starts.
But his form in previous campaigns saw him described by Marco Silva as 'one of the best left-backs in the Premier League', and that quality is understood to have caught the attention of Man Utd, as they look to bring in new additions for the new season, with a £25m deal being discussed.
"Antonee Robinson is attracting interest," Vidal wrote.
"Manchester United and Aston Villa are closely following the Fulham left-back and considering a possible move this summer. A deal [worth] around £25M is being discussed for the American international."
Pochettino Factor Could Be Huge

Current left-back Luke Shaw has started every game in the Premier League so far this season, but his fitness issues throughout his career have been well documented, and he will enter the final year of his contract this summer too.
There is also the ongoing issue of who the next permanent manager of the club will be, with a number of candidates being considered ahead of a summer decision.
One such candidate is Mauricio Pochettino, and if he is appointed then his relationship with Robinson could be vital in getting a deal done. The two currently work together with the United States senior national team, meaning they will both know exactly what to expect from the other if they reunited at club level.
GIVEMESPORT asked ChatGPT to compare Shaw and Robinson, and this was its response:
Luke Shaw: Better technically; stronger passer and progressive distributor from left-back.
Antonee Robinson: Faster, more durable, and highly productive creatively (10 PL assists in 2024–25).
Verdict: Shaw has the higher peak ability; Robinson is currently more reliable and consistent due to fitness and availability.
