Wow, this combination is shocking? Manchester United X Lewandowski, a fantastic combination that fell apart 13 years ago. A surprise appearance next summer. Man U can't resist

Oct 22, 2025

Manchester United is expected to push for the recruitment of a super-large striker that was missed 13 years ago. This is because he is still a player with threatening offensive instincts and, above all, there is no transfer fee. Manchester United is targeting striker Roberto Lewandowski (37) of Barcelona in Spain's Primera Liga, according to reports.

Team Talk, a British media outlet, published an article on the possibility of recruiting Lewandowski on the 22nd (Korean time) 'Manchester United may sign a great striker who has already expressed his acceptance of the transfer in the past'

Lewandowski had a reputation as the best striker in Europe through Bayern Munich and Barcelona. He is ranked seventh in scoring with 673 goals in individual total, achieving 7 times as the top scorer in the German Bundesliga, 1 time as the top scorer in La Liga, and 2 times as the FIFA Player of the Year. Literally, it can be seen as the best goal scorer of the time.

However, at 37 years old this year, he has already passed his prime. He is currently with Barcelona, but this is the last season of his contract. After completing the 2025-2026 season, he will become a free agent (FA) player. He may renew his contract with Barcelona, but it is unlikely.

In a related development, another British outlet, Daily Star, said 'Manchester United could sign Lewandowski, the most threatening and experienced striker, with no transfer fee next summer. Lewandowski still has a strong desire to remain active. However, there is little chance of renewing his contract with Barcelona.

According to Fabrizio Romano, who is familiar with the European transfer market, there are already signs of Lewandowski's departure from Barcelona. Barcelona is quite likely not to re-sign Lewandowski, who is aging.

There are three reasons. One is that Manchester United is likely to bring an experienced striker away from its recruitment stance so far. United have abandoned their old style of recruiting superstars past their prime after being acquired by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Instead, he recruited players in their early and mid-20s. Future values were considered first.

As a result, there was a side effect of the team's lack of experience overall. It is time for an experienced veteran of the team. Coach Hoobeng Amorim also wants a player who is experienced and still has strong attack power to play this role. Lewandowski is the right person.

The second reason is that there is no transfer fee for Lewandowski's recruitment. Sir Ratcliffe, who is advocating "fiscal savings", is the perfect element to like. Lewandowski will become an FA at the end of this season at Barcelona. In addition, due to his old age, he can adjust his salary to some extent realistically. There's no reason why Manchester United shouldn't be aiming.

The third reason is that Lewandowski is also favorable to the trend. Lewandowski has gone to the brink of joining Manchester United in the past. He himself blew 'OK' about moving to Manchester United. However, I have a memory that finally fell through.

It was 12 years ago in 2013. At that time, Manchester United was led by former coach Alex Ferguson. Lewandowski was a member of Borussia Dortmund. At the time, Sir Ferguson wanted Lewandowski, and Lewandowski agreed. However, the transfer was ultimately canceled.

Lewandowski also spoke to the BBC earlier this year about the situation at the time. He decided to move to Manchester United and accepted the offer. I wanted to join Manchester United to see Ferguson"But Dortmund did not sell me." Because I knew I had to stay to make more money, and I could wait another year or two. But it's true that I decided to move to Manchester United."

Lewandowski eventually left Dortmund for Bayern Munich in 2014. He played for eight years until July 2022, leading the Bundesliga to its eighth consecutive victory. After playing 375 games for Munich, he left a phenomenal record of 344 goals and 73 assists, he left for Barcelona and gave the team another championship. He was also the top scorer in the league.

United are looking to re-sign Lewandowski, who they missed 13 years ago. But Lewandowski blew an OK to play for Sir Ferguson at the time. It is unclear whether he will go to Manchester United led by manager Amorim.
