Robert Lewandowski said YES to Man Utd move as Barca star drops massive transfer hints -Reports

Robert Lewandowski previously gave the green light to Manchester United and Sir Alex Ferguson, but the transfer never took place as Borussia Dortmund refused to sell

Robert Lewandowski has revealed that he “said yes” to the opportunity to move to Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson – only for the move to never materialise.

The Barcelona star has been one of Europe’s elite No 9s for well over a decade, setting numerous records, but a different path may have seen him play at Old Trafford under the Scot in his final year as a manager.

It was in 2012 that he gave the green light to move to Manchester from Borussia Dortmund for what would’ve been the final spell of Ferguson’s stint in Manchester. The interest came off the back of a season where Lewandowski claimed the Bundesliga title, scoring 30 times

Dortmund though simply were not willing to sell up and that put pay to any switch. The Polish star told the BBC: “To Manchester United I decided and said yes. I wanted to join Manchester United, to see Alex Ferguson.”

It means that Lewandowski has been prolific in Germany and Spain, but never England. Whilst there is a part of him that would’ve loved to have tried himself in the Premier League, he insists a CV that boast Dortmund, Bayern Munich and Barcelona cannot be sniffed at.

“I don’t have this kind of feeling that I missed something, because every move or decision… I made because I wanted it.”

It was another heavyweight managerial figure in Jurgen Klopp who aided Lewandowski’s development at Dortmund. The German is regarded among the best managers the club has ever had and his personal touch proved crucial in the Pole’s career trajectory
