Robinson to Old Trafford has previously been [talked up by former United defender Jonathan Spector](https://www.goal.com/en/lists/jedi-transfer-man-utd-usmnt-antonee-robinson-luke-shaw-left-back/bltfb17cecc7fa35c18), with the 36-cap USMNT star telling ****GOAL**** when quizzed on the same subject: “I know Luke Shaw struggled with injuries, and so they do need somebody who's going to be fit for the majority of the season that they can rely on, and Antonee Robinson certainly fits that bill.
“He’s also a really attacking full-back, incredibly athletic as well, so I do think he suits what they would be looking for there. I do think he's a very, very good full-back. I think he could suit United in the way that they play, and I see the similarity in terms of profile to Luke Shaw.
“His work rate is exceptional, his engine is phenomenal, and so he'll be someone who gets up and down that wing nonstop.
“I don't know if Carrick's going to change a little bit in terms of how they play, but if he is looking for that player that's going to be getting up and down the wing, supporting the attack, I think that's when he's at his best.
“If he's forced to defend for long stretches of a match, I don't think that's necessarily his strength. But when he has that ability to get forward, that's when he's truly at his best. In terms of delivery, quality, final third, it's not at the same level as Luke Shaw, I don't think, but I do think you'll get that quantity from him because his work rate is so high.”
