Lewandowski would be a superb signing

They are preparing to return to the UEFA Champions League next season, and they need more quality in the team. Benjamin Sesko has done reasonably well during his debut campaign, but he needs more support in the attack. He is a young player, and an experienced mentor like Lewandowski could be ideal for him. The Polish International could share the goal-scoring burden with the young attacker.

He has also been linked with a move to Manchester United in the past. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can convince the player to join the club. Signing him for a short spell on a free transfer could prove to be a masterstroke.

There is no doubt that the Barcelona attacker has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could help Manchester United fight for trophies next season.

The player has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and the MLS. However, the opportunity to play in the Premier League could be attractive. This could be his final opportunity to compete at the highest level.
