Man United and Liverpool both keen on Fulham defender -Reports

According to sources, Manchester United and Liverpool are both considering bids for Antonee Robinson, the left-back for Fulham.

After moving from Wigan to the Cottagers in 2020, the 27-year-old has established himself in the starting lineup, making 155 appearances while tallying three goals.

Robinson’s father is an American citizen, although having been born and raised in England.

The full-back chose to play for his country, earning 46 caps thus far. Premier League heavyweights Liverpool and Manchester United are interested in signing him as a result of his performances for club and country, according to The Sun.

The Red Devils have struggled at left-back because Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw are both dealing with serious injuries.

Neither man has featured yet this season with summer signing Noussair Mazraoui filling in on the left of defence and even veteran Jonny Evans slotting in there at times.

Shaw remains first choice, but has not played a club match since February and his reliability, in terms of fitness, is certainly in question.

Malacia has not played for Manchester United since May 2023 in a Premier League win over Fulham, with a serious knee problem keeping him out of action for well over a year.

Liverpool still have Andy Robertson as first choice left-back, with the 30-year-old starting all five of their Premier League games so far this season.

Kostas Tsimikas remains the back-up for the Scot so there would be plenty of competition for Robinson if he were to make the move to Anfield.

Robinson grew up on Merseyside, coming through the youth set-up at Everton before moving on a permanent transfer to Wigan in 2019.

The in-demand left-back was in the starting XI as Fulham beat Newcastle 3-1 at Craven Cottage on Saturday, climbing to eighth in the Premier League table as a result
