With Liverpool and Manchester United both showing a keen interest in Fulham defender Antonee Robinson, the Premier League pair may pose a challenge to Manchester United in their pursuit of the left-back. According to some rumors, the Red Devils may even make a bid as early as January.

In what is Erik ten Hag’s third season at the club, United had a busy transfer window, adding five stars from their first team. With seven points from five games, they’ve performed mediocrely thus far, but in the upcoming weeks, things should get better as their stars start to establish themselves. Only Federico Chiesa joined Liverpool during the summer transfer window, but Arne Slot’s team has started the title fight incredibly well, defeating rival Manchester City four times out of five.

In light of Tyrell Malacia’s recent 18-month absence from any first-team activity and Luke Shaw’s continued inability to regain health, United has placed him to their wishlist ahead of the winter transfer season.

But as Liverpool searches for a long-term successor for Scottish left-back Andy Robertson, they are also pursuing the former Everton youth system product. Robinson may be the answer that Liverpool scouts have been searching for, especially considering that he is four years younger than the former Hull City star and has crucial Premier League experience.

Robinson would only be a rotation option for Liverpool, but United could have more weight by giving him first-team football right away. Additionally, Fulham’s summer free transfer of former youth star Ryan Sessegnon means that Robinson may be free to leave Craven Cottage in search of better opportunities.

Robinson had already piqued the curiosity of Manchester City, AC Milan, and other teams; however, with Liverpool seeking to make long-term plans and United in dire need of a left-back, the race to recruit him could go north-west.

Robinson Would Be A Fantastic Newcomer to Both Teams

In recent years, the left-back has shown incredible consistency.

Robinson, who won Fulham’s Player of the Season award after making over 100 appearances in the top division last season, is undoubtedly one of the greatest left-backs in the Premier League and has the ability to succeed at the highest level.

Robinson has had a huge impact on the Cottagers thanks to his incredible speed, skill at crossing the ball, and unwavering stamina. Since the summer, they have added players such as Emile Smith Rowe, Sander Berge, and Joachim Andersen, making them a formidable team, especially considering that Robinson has been dubbed “insane” for his efforts.

Robinson would provide Premier League experience to United or Liverpool, who would also be acquiring a top-half player. Fulham, who are now ranked ninth in the table, finished 10th in their debut top-flight campaign under Marco Silva.
