The Robert Lewandowski to Manchester United gossip 's been around for what appears like forever now (per the Mirror), and it doesn't appear to be going away anytime soon. At least, perhaps not heading into this year's summer shift window, with United employer Sir Alex Ferguson remaining really coy on what he plans to accomplish regarding Lewandowski in the summera'a radical change from the dismissal he is given the rumor all the times before. Speaking in front of United's clash with Aston Villa on the weekend, Ferguson told reporters that the club might miss out in the competition to sign the Polish international in summer time (per Yahoo! Sports ): Yeah, butABayern MunichAare powerful with that [interest in Lewandowski] too. Where we're when it comes to if we win the league we have to see and wait. Then it could be different. ... Large signings [this summer]? You're generally speaking about forwards but it is complicated enough as it's with the forwards I have got. The discovery comes as an interesting shift from United, who have apparently changed their tune from earlier in the growing season, when any attention was quickly terminated. That's not to suggest that for the Borussia Dortmund striker in summer time exchange window; the move is more unlikely to take place than likely the Red Devils are planning to move. But an interesting storyline was presented by the recent comments from Ferguson to check out. United will curently have several strikers on their booksa'Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck, plus AngeloAHenriquez, who's currently on loan. That's five strikers (must Lewandowski come) that next year United will have to take to and match their system for the duration of different contests and such, even when we consider Rooney today as a midfielder. Formation-wise, the only choice for the Red Devils could apparently be to visit a 4-3-1-2 creation, with Van Persie, Lewandowski and Rooney at the top of the attack. That will place the commodities of Nani, Ashley Young, Antonio Valencia and Shinji Kagawa all up in the air, as there is no promise for them in the starting group, on the flip side. Because sense, it is hard to see United seeing the transfer for Lewandowski as a positive thinga'as good and successful as he might well be at Old Trafford. It's also essential here to consider ab muscles real and likely possibility that Lewandowski will not leave Jurgen Klopp's part and will remain at Dortmund next season. Forget the interest from Bayern, for this is difficult to see him sharing sides to Dortmund's biggest rivala'the biggest interest United need to concern yourself with when they are trying to signal Lewandowski is that of his current club, who can apparently offer him everything United can (and potentially even more). Dortmund could offer Lewandowski the cash, lacking to move, and a solid and energetic team that's an abundance of small talent. They could give him Champions League baseball and the opportunity to develop his image even further by enjoying as the star striker in the teama'something that Lewandowski would apparently have to tell Van Persie and Rooney if he moved to the Red Devils. As big and strong as United are, Dortmund are every bit as strong now, and the Red Devils will undoubtedly be hard-pressed to convince the star striker that the move becomes necessary. Transfermarkt provides Lewandowski as aAA24 million prospect, which could well become nearer toAA25-30 million by enough time they encourage Dortmund to offer. I will not see United spending that money to try and provide a new player in and completely change a team that, in truth, wasn't that far off the treble in 2013. The Red Devils will be far better served by strengthening their security and midfield with good squad players who are small and may change their outgoing experts. They've already made the major proceed to get Kagawa, Van Persie and Wilfried Zaha; now they just need certainly to strengthen and consolidate for a strong several seasons in Europe and England. Dortmund should not sell Lewandowski, and He shouldn't be bought by United. But there's something intriguing about Ferguson's comments that indicates this gossip might not be totally done going in to the exchange time. What that some thing is? I guess we'll know quickly enough. Hit me up on Twitter for more sports goodness:
