Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Fulham’s Antonee Robinson ahead of a potential summer move, with INEOS believed to be pushing hard to get a deal done.
According to journalist Sébastien Vidal, United are eyeing a £25m swoop for the 28-year-old American, who has quietly established himself as one of the Premier League’s most consistent full-backs.
Why Robinson Makes Sense for United
Robinson’s journey to the top is a proper footballing story. Developed through Everton’s academy, he found his feet at Wigan Athletic before Fulham took a chance on him in 2020. He repaid that faith instantly, playing a pivotal role in their 2021-22 Championship title win and has barely put a foot wrong since their return to the top flight.
His numbers this season back up the eye test — winning over 53% of his ground duels, 56% of his aerial battles, and completing six dribbles as a defender. For a club crying out for attacking threat from full-back, Robinson ticks every box.
The Competition United Face
It won’t be straightforward. Aston Villa are also in the running, which means United must move decisively or risk missing out.
At Old Trafford, Luke Shaw’s persistent injury record, combined with Tyrell Malacia’s stop-start campaign and Patrick Dorgu still finding his feet, leaves the left-back slot looking increasingly fragile.
Robinson, with 200+ Premier League appearances for Fulham, offers something none of United’s current options can guarantee — reliability.
