10月8日，据24直播网报道，曼联对富勒姆的左翼后卫安东尼·罗宾逊产生了浓厚兴趣。富勒姆传奇球员博比·萨莫拉以及前曼联队成员乔纳森·斯佩克特均对此事发表了看法。
Anthony Robinson, aged 29, has proudly represented the United States and joined Fulham in 2020. As Manchester United seeks to bolster their left-back contingent, whispers of interest in Robinson have emerged. Bobby Samora commented, "There's a chance Robinson could once again catch the Red Devils' eye, and I believe that to be true. His consistent performance as a full-back over the years speaks volumes, and he now boasts an extensive wealth of experience. Having graced the Premier League for several seasons and donned the national team's colors, he is a valuable asset. He has remained loyal to Fulham, and I genuinely look forward to witnessing his development under the guidance of manager Avelloa."
前曼联球员、美国籍后卫乔纳森·斯佩克特表示：“我深知卢克肖一直饱受伤病之苦，因此曼联迫切需要一位在赛季中期能够持续保持良好状态的主力球员。罗宾逊无疑正是这一需求的完美人选。他以其出色的进攻能力以及卓越的奔跑速度而著称，我认为他完全能够满足曼联的期待。”
斯佩克特续言道：“我坚信，这位球员堪称出色的边路防守者，他在曼联的体系中能够扮演关键角色。我发现他与卢克肖在某些特质上有着共通之处。他的执行力非凡，场上活跃，擅长在两端来回移动。尽管我不确定卡里克是否打算调整比赛策略，但若他寻求一位能在边路频繁移动、助力进攻的球员，罗宾逊无疑是理想人选。”
乔纳森·斯佩克特指出，若斯佩克特被迫在比赛中持续执行防守任务，这或许并非他的优势所在。相较之下，当斯佩克特得以发挥其前场突击之长，方能展现出最佳状态。在传球、技巧以及进攻三个关键区域的表现上，斯佩克特认为自己略逊于卢克肖，然而，他凭借不懈的奔跑和对比赛的全身心投入，能够弥补这一差距。
