Robert Lewandowski could help Manchester United secure Frenkie de Jong transfer

The Manchester Evening News understands that Manchester United are considering a move for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong to reunite him with manager Erik ten Hag. The transfer could cost anywhere up to £75m but reports in Spain state that the Catalan side are open to selling the player so they can make signings elsewhere.

And one of those players is striker Robert Lewandowski. Journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Barcelona were interested in bringing the player to the Nou Camp and had agreed personal terms with the player earlier this month, but now the striker has gone one step further.

In a recent press conference while on international duty with Poland, he said: "My era at Bayern is over. I do not see any possibility to continue playing for this club. Bayern is a serious club and I believe they will not keep me. I do not want to play there anymore. A transfer is the best solution. I hope they do not stop me."
