Manchester United’s squad rebuild has gathered real momentum over the past couple of seasons, but the left-back position remains a glaring weakness. According to Football Insider, United are ready to address that this summer — and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson is firmly in their sights.
Why Luke Shaw and Patrick Dorgu Aren’t the Answer
Luke Shaw has shown glimpses of quality this season, but his injury record makes him an unreliable option for a club chasing silverware. Meanwhile, Patrick Dorgu — despite his potential — looks more like a capable squad player than a genuine starter at the highest level. United need an upgrade, and they need one now.
Why Robinson Makes Perfect Sense for Man United
Robinson has quietly established himself as one of the Premier League’s best left-backs, and his recent form at Craven Cottage has only strengthened that reputation. The 28-year-old American international offers a rare combination of defensive discipline and attacking threat — his pace, work rate, and crossing ability make him a nightmare for opposition wingers and a reliable outlet going forward.
The Transfer Makes Financial Sense Too
Here’s the kicker — Robinson won’t cost a fortune. Valued at just £22 million on Transfermarkt with his Fulham contract winding down, United could land a proven Premier League performer at a fraction of the cost of comparable targets. His wage demands are unlikely to break the bank either.
At 28, Robinson is entering the peak years of his career. Sign him this summer, and United get four to five years of quality, consistent football at left-back — exactly what Old Trafford has been crying out for.
