Manchester United have taken decisive steps to bolster their left-back options ahead of the summer transfer window's closure. The club has made an official approach to Fulham to acquire defender Anthony Robinson. This information comes from insider Ben Jacobs.
The proposed fee for the 29-year-old US international is £25 million, including bonuses.
According to the source, United's urgency for negotiations stems from Luke Shaw's underwhelming performance in the recent Premier League victory against Ipswich Town (5-2). The Manchester hierarchy was left disappointed with the England full-back's display and has returned to the long-time target, hoping to enhance competition on the left flank.
