Manchester United are reportedly eyeing a move for Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson as an alternative to primary target Lewis Hall, according to talkSPORT.

The Red Devils have made strengthening their left-back position a priority this summer after identifying a significant lack of depth in the role.

Luke Shaw has long been the first-choice option at left-back, but persistent fitness problems have undermined his reliability at Old Trafford over recent seasons.

Patrick Dorgu was brought in to provide cover, but the young forward has been far more effective when deployed as a winger rather than a full-back.

United have identified Newcastle’s Lewis Hall as their preferred solution to the problem, but the Magpies are firmly resistant to selling the defender this summer.

Newcastle have already lost Anthony Gordon and Sandro Tonali, with Bruno Guimaraes closing in on a move to Arsenal, making the club unwilling to sanction further departures.

That resistance has pushed United towards Robinson as a cheaper and more attainable alternative, with the American valued at around £19m by Transfermarkt.

The 28-year-old has entered the final two years of his contract at Fulham, which could encourage the Cottagers to sell and maximise their return this summer.

Robinson is a technically accomplished left-back who offers pace, aerial ability, quality delivery from wide areas, and strong defensive contributions across the course of a game.

He produced one of his finest Premier League campaigns in 2024/25, registering 10 assists and keeping five clean sheets across 36 appearances for Fulham.

United have already moved decisively in the transfer market this summer, signing Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans from Chelsea and Aston Villa for a combined fee of around £83m.

With Champions League football secured for next season, the club need genuine depth across all positions to compete effectively on multiple fronts.

Whether United will move beyond reported interest and make a concrete approach to sign Robinson before the window closes remains to be seen.
