Manchester United are interested in signing Fulham defender Anthony Robinson at the end of the season.
They will also face competition from Aston Villa. According to Sportboom, the defender will cost around £25m in the summer. The London club signed him for £2 million and he has been a special asset to the club for many years.
He is currently one of the best players in his position in the Premier League. Manchester United are keen to secure his signature, but it remains to be seen whether a deal will go through. The 28-year-old US international could be a solid long-term replacement for Luke Shaw.
His asking price is quite reasonable for a player of his quality and experience. Manchester United have the funds to complete the deal, but it remains to be seen what decision they will make.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are also monitoring his situation closely. Lucas Digne is in the twilight phase of his career and needs to start making plans for the future. They are aiming to qualify for the Champions League and need more quality from their squad. The 28-year-old American international could be a great acquisition for them.
Both clubs have the financial wherewithal to make a deal happen, and it will be interesting to see what happens to Robinson in the end. The 28-year-old has proven himself in the Premier League with Fulham and will be looking to take the next step in his career by joining an elite club. He may be attracted to the idea of joining a club that can fight for big trophies. Manchester United could be an attractive move for him.
