Pushing Luke Shaw away, MU pursues perfect left-back

Robinson - The perfect choice to replace Shaw?

The 2023/2024 season has seen Luke Shaw struggle with injuries, leaving Manchester United's defence vulnerable. This has forced the Red Devils to look for a new left-back to strengthen the squad. And Fulham's Antonee Robinson is emerging as a strong candidate.

Robinson has proven his ability in the Premier League with his solid play, speed and effective attacking support. He also possesses an ideal physique for the left-back position, along with a tireless fighting spirit. These qualities are very suitable for the requirements that coach Erik ten Hag sets for his players.

Comparing Robinson and Shaw: Who will be the master of the left wing at Old Trafford?

Both Robinson and Shaw are talented left-backs, but each has different strengths and weaknesses. Shaw excels with his long passing and ability to create chances, while Robinson is stronger in duels and speed.

While Shaw often has physical problems, Robinson is very durable. This means that MU will have a more reliable choice at left-back if they successfully recruit the American player.

Impact on Manchester United squad

The signing of Robinson would bring many benefits to Manchester United. Firstly, it would create healthy competition at left-back, forcing both Shaw and Robinson to fight for a starting spot. Secondly, Robinson would bring a breath of fresh air to the Red Devils' defense with a dynamic and modern style of play. Finally, the tactical diversity would also be improved when coach Ten Hag has another quality option in this position.

How much will Fulham offer for Robinson?

Fulham have rejected offers of up to £35m for Robinson in the past, but with the American's financial situation and the player looking for a new challenge, the London club may be more lenient in negotiations.

It is expected that MU will have to spend about 30 million pounds to get Robinson's signature. This is a reasonable price compared to the talent and potential of this player.
