Antonee Robinson has made his transfer stance clear amid links with Manchester United. The Fulham defender is reportedly open to a move to Old Trafford as he remains one of several targets for the Red Devils.
Robinson Speaks on Transfer Speculation
Antonee Robinson has admitted he could leave Fulham if a club matches his asking price. The 28-year-old has impressed for the United States at the World Cup, sparking reports linking him with Manchester United.
Michael Carrick is looking to reinforce the left-back position, which is Robinson's primary area of cover. Luke Shaw stands out as the only senior option for next season, with Tyrell Malacia departing as a free agent this summer. Patrick Dorgu is expected to continue in a more attacking role under the new manager.
According to Sky Sports News, Robinson has emerged as a new target for Carrick alongside Newcastle's Lewis Hall, who continues to be monitored by the club. The American has previously spoken out on rumours linking him with a move away from Fulham.
Robinson's Comments on a Potential Move
Robinson admitted that while he is content at Craven Cottage, the idea of a transfer is tempting. Speaking to Marca in 2024, he said: "I'm very happy here. The fact that there is interest from other teams is great. Obviously, it all comes down to whether someone wants me enough to pay what Fulham would ask. So, if the club sees it as a good idea, I would leave."
Former Manager Praises Robinson
Former Fulham manager Marco Silva was full of praise for the defender during his time in south-west London, highlighting his defensive abilities. Silva said: "He never stops going up and down, and, on top of that, in attack, he is decisive. He is a great athlete, but I would highlight, above all, the way in which he has been improving in our defensive process. He had to defend many one-on-one situations with Salah and, despite having a yellow card since the 27th minute, he was brave and aggressive, in a good way."
Robinson's Record and Transfer Value
Robinson has been a reliable performer for Fulham since joining from Wigan Athletic in 2020. He has provided four goals and 22 assists in 215 appearances for the Cottagers and has stood out in the Premier League. While United have other options, including Hall, Robinson is considered the more affordable choice. Reports suggest Fulham may accept a fee of around £28 million.
The 28-year-old appears open to a move, but his current club is in a period of change, with Silva departing as boss and Alvaro Arbeloa in advanced talks to take over. This could complicate United's plans, and they would likely need to act quickly if Robinson continues to perform at the World Cup.
