Man United backed to sign Robert Lewandowski by pundit after journalist’s update – ‘I have a sneaky feeling’
Paul Robinson has “a sneaky feeling” Man United could pull off a blockbuster move for Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski this summer.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and England number one claimed the 33-year-old would be the “perfect fit” for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Man United could be forced into the market for a striker after Cristiano Ronaldo told the club he wants to leave.
According to ESPN‘s Rob Dawson (8 July), the Red Devils have been approached about the possibility of signing Paulo Dybala.
Robinson suggested Lewandowski would be a better option than Dybala at Old Trafford next season.
“If they lose Ronaldo they are going to lose a lot of goals,” he told Football Insider.
“Somebody like Dybala could go someway to replacing them even though he is not an out-and-out number nine.
“I still have a sneaky feeling about Lewandowski. They are talking about him going to Barcelona but they are struggling to finance it at the moment. The longer that drags on, the more you think it might not come off.
“If Ronaldo leaves, there could be a domino effect. United might take a chance on Lewandowski. He would be the perfect fit for United.
“I know they have signed strikers of a certain age before like [Edinson] Cavani and Ronaldo. I think Lewandowski would be a really good fit at Old Trafford.”
