"Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has been linked with a surprise move to Manchester United. However, Dean Jones has now revealed on TEAMtalk that the transfer is highly unlikely. Even though Manchester United need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, signing Lewandowski would be a surprise. The player is in the twilight stages of his career, and he is not getting any better. They need to invest in a younger player with more potential."
"I'm not sure how much money people think Lewandowski currently makes, but he's basically the highest earner at Barcelona. Man United have a strict policy of how much they are going to pay players, particularly those who are older players. Yes, you need a balance and you need some experience. But even if Lewandowski was to halve his wages he would be earning more than the majority of the squad."
Robert Lewandowski has been linked with a move to Manchester United but the transfer is considered highly unlikely. Manchester United require more quality and depth in attack but should prioritise signing a younger forward with potential. Lewandowski is in the twilight of his career, is not improving, and commands high wages as Barcelona's top earner, conflicting with Manchester United's strict older-player pay policy. Suggestions that he would mentor Benjamin Sesko are viewed as unnecessary. United need a striker to compete with Sesko and share goals. Lewandowski remains a proven elite striker, but his age makes the move underwhelming.
