The international break might mean a pause in Premier League action, but it’s still set to be a busy period for Manchester United. We already know the club have taken this opportunity to step up the search for their next manager, interviewing Ajax boss Erik ten Hag earlier in the week.
Yet beyond their managerial search, it’s likely that United officials will also be drawing up a list of potential transfers to pursue. It’s no secret that signing a new striker will be a priority with Edinson Cavani set to depart on a free transfer, and Cristiano Ronaldo entering the final year of his contract.
Bayern Munich’s Robert Lewandowski has been one of the players heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent weeks after the Polish star suggested he could move on from the German champions in the summer, despite having a year left on his current deal. Although Lewandowski is an elite-level striker, competition for his signature would be fierce, and that’s providing Bayern are even open to selling him, which at this stage isn’t clear.
