According to speculations, Manchester United and Aston Villa will vie for Fulham full-back Antonee Robinson in a summer transfer bid. The US international has previously been the subject of transfer speculations, with Champions League teams frequently expressing interest. Due to a knee injury, the 28-year-old’s performance has considerably decreased this season.
The defender established himself as one of the league’s most highly regarded full-backs after winning the Championship with the Cottagers in 2022. Fulham’s contract with Robinson expires in 2028, giving the London team negotiation leverage in the event any bids are received.
Journalist Sebastian Vidal shared interest from Manchester United and Aston Villa on social media site X, citing rumours of a £25 million transfer. The Red Devils and Villains are reportedly “closely monitoring” the athlete, according to SportsBoom, which supports those assertions.

Robinson is reportedly “eager” to play Champions League football, which both Manchester United and Aston Villa will try to provide him. Fulham would profit handsomely from any sale of the defender, whom they signed from Wigan Athletic in 2020 for just £2 million.
Robinson improved once again last season, establishing himself as a pillar of Fulham’s strong defence and continuing to offer a reliable attacking outlet down the left.
Additionally, he has made a name for himself as the United States’ unchallenged first-choice left-back, playing every minute of their World Cup journey to the knockout rounds in Qatar. Robinson, who now holds 50 caps for his nation, is anticipated to play a significant role for the Americans at the World Cup this summer.
But Fulham is committed to holding onto one of its best players, especially after they signed him to a long-term contract deal in 2023 that will last until 2028. However, given Robinson’s ongoing ascent, interest in the dynamic defender will probably only grow when the summer transfer window opens.
