Mauricio Pochettino to bring Fulham star to Man Utd?

Incoming Manchester United manager Mauricio Pochettino could seek to bring Fulham defender Antonee Robinson to Old Trafford this winter.

The Argentine is the clear-cut favourite to replace Michael Carrick as United's head coach, and negotiations are currently at the final stage.

Pochettino could be formally appointed before the end of the week, and he has a huge job ahead with United languishing in the drop zone.

Meanwhile, the Argentine is likely to be backed with funds to bolster the squad in January, and a new left-back could be a top priority.

With Luke Shaw's injury concerns, the Red Devils are bound to invest in a new left-back to compete with Patrick Dorgu going forward.

Shaw's current deal expires in June next year, and there is also the possibility that he could be released on a free transfer.

Robinson shares a fond relationship with Pochettino, having worked together in the USA setup. A reunion could be on the cards.

Fulham previously valued Robinson in the region of £30m, but it could take a higher fee to persuade them to sell him in the middle of the season.
