Man Utd Plotting Surprise Move for Robert Lewandowski

Manchester United have put together a shortlist of potential striker options this summer, as CaughtOffside reports of one surprise target for the Red Devils.

Michael Carrick's side are pushing to get some important deals over the line, with the hopes of improving both the quality and depth available for next season.

The midfield has been an area of focus at Old Trafford, with Ederson set to join from Atalanta as an initial signing, while interest is ramping up in the likes of Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali.

However, forwards are also on the cards at Man United, as links have emerged over a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville, and he may not be the only arrival.

A striker could be on the cards, with a few options now shortlisted.

Among the options on the radar for Man United this summer is Robert Lewandowski, who is available as a free agent after leaving Barcelona at the end of last season.

The Poland international has been described as a "surprising" option on the list for the Red Devils, offering potential support to Benjamin Sesko up front.

The 37-year-old is off the back of a campaign that saw him receive a little less game time than in previous campaigns, but he has still received plenty of praise.

Even in the twilight of his career, Lewandowski has been described as the "best central striker in the world", having certainly shown that quality during his time in professional football.

It remains to be seen whether a deal is possible, given the links between the striker and a move to the MLS, while it's unclear how much of a role he may play at Old Trafford if he was to make the move.

Lewandowski isn't the only player on Man United's radar this summer for the central striker role, as four other stars are believed to be appreciated.

Victor Osimhen is claimed to be a "dream target" in the report from CaughtOffside, as the Galatasaray star appears on the radar once again.

Beyond him, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Eli Junior Kroupi have been linked as possible signings who could bring some Premier League experience with them.

Dusan Vlahovic has been claimed as the final target on the shortlist, as the striker is a free agent at the end of this month following his contract at Juventus coming to an end.

It remains to be seen who Man United could go for, as they look to balance quality with their budget to land the ideal option for the short-term and long-term.
