Antonee Robinson: Man United face League rival in move for speedster to fill void in squad | OneFootball

Manchester United are being linked with a move for a left-back ahead of the summer window.

Patrick Dorgu is being tipped for a left-wing role. Before his injury, the Dane had proven to be a massive hit as a makeshift winger, and many feel the Red Devils would be missing a tactical trick by not deploying him there.

Consequently, with Dorgu likely to feature more as a winger, signing another left-back becomes a necessity.

United have been linked with some fine options, Julian Ryerson among them, while others have recommended capable alternatives such as Nico Schlotterbeck.

But as fans continue to weigh up who could quench that transfer thirst, Sports Boom have thrown another name into the equation.

Antonee Robinson eyed, but there is Premier League competition

The outlet reports that Ineos are eyeing Fulham’s Antonee Robinson, though a tough Premier League battle looks likely for the American.

They claim:

“Manchester United and Aston Villa are ready to battle it out for Fulham star Antonee Robinson, with both clubs weighing up a summer move.

“Robinson’s displays have alerted a number of top clubs, but United and Villa are among those most closely monitoring the situation ahead of the summer window and a potential £25 million move.”

Repeat of last summer’s transfer trick

Beating Fulham to Robinson’s signature could see INEOS repeat last summer’s transfer trick.

Having struck gold by signing Premier League-proven talent in Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, Robinson could represent the next astute raid from within the league by United.

With United’s left-hand side a source of concern, the 28-year-old could certainly supercharge it.

A rapid, high-energy operator, Robinson is precisely what the 20-time English champions need. His tenacious defensive ability in one-on-one situations, combined with a relentless attacking drive, means he could serve as a primary creative outlet, bombing forward with lung-busting runs and delivering with precision from wide.
