Manchester United are keen to bring in a Premier League-proven left-back to provide genuine competition for Luke Shaw.
Shaw remains the only experienced left-back at Michael Carrick’s disposal following the departure of Tyrell Malacia as a free agent.
Patrick Dorgu, who was signed as a wing-back under Ruben Amorim, has looked more effective in the final third than at the back.
Manchester United face competition from Chelsea for Lewis Hall
It has been widely reported that Manchester United are keen on signing Lewis Hall from Newcastle United.
However, according to SportsBoom, Chelsea have now made Lewis Hall their number one left-back target as they search for a replacement for Marc Cucurella following his move to Real Madrid.
Newcastle were already expected to demand an exorbitant figure to sanction Hall’s exit, and Chelsea’s decision to enter the race should only increase his price tag.
Antonee Robinson prepared to join Manchester United
The two Premier League giants are also thought to be interested in Fulham star Antonee Robinson.
The 28-year-old is known for his dominant defending and blistering speed. The United States international has established himself “as one of the Premier League’s most reliable and attack-minded full-backs.”
It is claimed United have tracked Robinson for some time.
Furthermore, he is understood to be ready for the next step in his career, with a move to either Chelsea or United “viewed as an ideal opportunity to test himself at the highest level.”
Fulham are thought to be reluctant to lose one of their key performers, but he has entered the final 24 months of his contract at Craven Cottage.
A separate report suggested Fulham “could sanction a sale” for a bid of £28 million.
