I agreed to Manchester United’s offer to contract me; however, they did not score any of my 600 goals.Robert Lewandowski has disclosed that he consented to join Manchester United in 2012; however, Borussia Dortmund declined to authorise the transfer.

The Polish striker, who has since become one of the greatest strikers of his generation, had just completed a breakthrough season at Dortmund in 2011/12 when Sir Alex

Ferguson contacted him to express his desire to bring him to Old Trafford. In that campaign, Lewandowski had scored 30 goals in 47 games and was still two years away from joining Bayern Munich.

However, Ferguson was interested in signing the striker, who would turn 22 in the summer, to serve as the leader of his attack. Lewandowski stated on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast that he had no reluctance in agreeing to Ferguson’s request and was eager to facilitate the transaction.

For instance, I recall a conversation I had with Sir Alex Ferguson. “That occurred in 2012,” stated Lewandowski. “I have made the decision to join Manchester United.” “I recall the conversation that took place in the..

.” We were engaged in a few contests prior to the commencement of the preseason. I anticipated his telephone call. Additionally, I was substituted at halftime due to my awareness that I would be on the pitch for 45 minutes.

“I received the call.” And at that time, my English was at a distinct level. And particularly if I am to converse with the individual Sir Alex Ferguson is currently contacting, which I am. Mr.

responded, “Yes, I am extremely nervous about the call.” And, you know, he’s going to speak simple English, right? “Hello, my name is Robert Lewandowski,” he said. Yes, hello, hello…You are aware of this Scottish intonation! “Certainly, of course.

” I knew what I should inform him of, you know. Certainly, I am interested in joining Manchester United. Lewandowski elucidated the reason for the move’s failure, stating, “I also recall the conversation with the Dortmund president.

” He informed me that they require my assistance. Manchester United will not employ me due to my significant value to them. Additionally, the present moment is not optimal.

Dortmund, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona capitalised on United’s defeat. Lewandowski, who is currently 36 years old, continues to be one of the most lethal finishers in Europe.

He scored 64 goals in 97 games during his final two campaigns at Dortmund and subsequently tallied 344 goals in 375 games for Bayern. He relocated to Barcelona in the summer of 2022 and has scored 78 goals in 112 games, with 19 of them coming in seventeen games under Hansi Flick this season.
