"The veteran Polish striker remains a key player for Barca at the moment, but it seems he might not get an extension beyond this season as he'll be 38 at the start of the next campaign. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick may be understandably concerned about Lewandowski's ability to keep on playing in his high-energy and high-pressing system by that point."
"According to the Daily Star, there may be some interest from Man Utd in snapping up Lewandowski when his contract expires. The Red Devils have notably tried to sign the Poland international before, but that was all the way back in Sir Alex Ferguson's time in charge. Lewandowski has spoken publicly about this transfer saga, admitting that he said yes to the move to Old Trafford, but his former club Borussia Dortmund blocked it at the time."
"All in all, the Daily Star's report seems to be speculation more than anything else it's not clear if United are actually seriously considering Lewandowski now. It seems more like the Daily Star are putting two stories together Lewandowski's availability on a free next summer, and past interest from United. Still, this interest is over a decade old, so it doesn't seem that relevant to now, and one imagines MUFC would also have concerns over Lewandowski's age."
Manchester United are reported as a possible contender to sign Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski if he becomes a free agent next summer. Lewandowski remains a key player for Barcelona but may not receive a contract extension beyond this season as he will be 38 at the start of the next campaign. Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has concerns about Lewandowski sustaining his high-energy, high-pressing role at that age. Reports cite past United interest from Sir Alex Ferguson's era and Lewandowski's admission that Borussia Dortmund blocked a prior move to Old Trafford. The current reports are speculative and note Premier League and age-related risks, suggesting United might prioritize younger targets.
