Robert Lewandowski has revealed how Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson called the centre-forward midway through a Borussia Dortmund match in an attempt to sign the striker.
The Poland international finally played at Old Trafford for the first time in February during the second leg of Barcelona's Europa League knockout round play-off tie against United. Lewandowski has now claimed he could have been playing there over a decade earlier after wanting a move to Manchester.
Instead, a transfer never transpired. The striker stayed in Germany with Dortmund before moving on to Bayern and eventually joining the Catalan club. But it all could have been different had Jurgen Klopp not stopped Lewandowski in his tracks
