Robinson to Man Utd?

Incoming Manchester United manager Mauricio Pochettino may opt to sign Fulham defender Antonee Robinson for Old Trafford this winter.

The Argentine coach is the clear preference to take over Michael Carrick’s role as United’s head coach, with talks now in the final phase.

Pochettino could be officially appointed before week’s end, and the task ahead is daunting as the Red Devils sit in the relegation zone.

He is expected to secure additional resources in January, and a new left‑back could be a strategic priority.

Given Luke Shaw’s injury concerns, the club will likely add depth at right back to counter Patrick Dorgu’s position.

Shaw’s contract expires in June, with a free agency move possible, leaving room for the newcomer.

Robinson has maintained a strong bond with Pochettino through previous collaborations in the U.S., making a return plausible.

Fulham previously listed Robinson in the £30 million range, but a premium fee will probably be required to see him leave during the season.
