“He is too injury prone and it’s really affecting the team. We need to quickly get a replacement for him” This is according to Manchester United Manager Erik Ten Hag as Manchester United are looking to sign a £30m-rated player to replace their injured star, with the target already having provided 2 assists this season, according to a report.

According to *The Sun*, Manchester United have pinpointed Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson as a potential January transfer target to replace the injured Luke Shaw.

While United were expected to sign a left-back this summer, manager Erik ten Hag prioritized other areas, bringing in defenders Leny Yoro, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui instead.

The club also bolstered their attack with Joshua Zirkzee and completed a high-profile deadline-day signing of midfielder Manuel Ugarte, who is set to play a key role in the team’s midfield.

However, with Shaw’s ongoing injury concerns, United are reportedly considering a move for Robinson if they can generate sufficient funds.

The 27-year-old has caught United’s eye with his athleticism and abilities. Fulham is reportedly open to letting Robinson leave in the winter transfer window if their £30 million valuation is met.

Shaw had a challenging 2023/24 season due to multiple injuries, limiting him to just 15 appearances, though he managed to regain fitness for England’s European Championship campaign. Unfortunately, he suffered a calf injury upon returning to United’s pre-season, sidelining him until the international break.

Tyrell Malacia was initially brought in as Shaw’s potential successor, but his persistent knee injury has kept him out of action for the past 14 months.

Robinson, who has made an impressive start to the current season with 2 assists in 3 league games, could be a strong addition to United’s squad. With transfer market prices soaring, £30 million for Robinson could be seen as a bargain, though it remains to be seen if United can raise the necessary funds through player sales in January.
