MANCHESTER UNITED are lining up a move for Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson — if they can raise the funds before the January transfer window.
The Red Devils have started to look for a long-term replacement for injury-hit Luke Shaw, 29.
American Robinson is in their sights because of his ability and athleticism.
Fulham rate the 27-year-oldn in the £30million class.
They do not want to lose him but may not stand in his way if an offer arrives.
Robinson joined Fulham from Wigan in August 2020 for just £2m and was previously at Everton.

The chance to play for a major club in the North West will appeal to him.
Manchester City plus Milan giants AC and Inter were linked with Robinson last year.
At that time he was rated at closer to £35m.
And in fact AC had already gone close to bagging him shortly before he joined the Cottagers.

In the end, the Red Devils loaned Jadon Sancho to Enzo Maresca's Blues.
