Lewandowski to United, an unprecedented situation arose at Old Trafford

However, it took the Polish striker a long time to make a name for himself in international football. However, the Barcelona attacker confessed that he was very close to moving to a Premier League giant.

Many footballers have gone through the ranks of Bayern Munich, but not all have left a mark like the one Lewandowski left. It is that, in his eight years, he managed to register himself as the second historical scorer of the club.

However, in an interview with the German newspaper Sport Bild, he confessed that the story could have been very different. It is that, although his first steps in the Bundesliga were taken at Borussia Dortmund, the jump to Bayern made him improve even more.

Despite this, the Polish striker said that his time at Bayern was close to not having happened. What happened to make it not happen? After his first two seasons at Borussia, Robert confessed that he wanted to go to Manchester United, but that Jürgen Klopp was in charge of preventing his departure.

What would have happened if Lewan moved to Manchester?

We will never know, but surely he would have managed to be just as important as he was at Bayern Munich. It is said that he spoke with Aki Watzke and Jürgen Klopp at the training camp. He wanted to go to Manchester United. But they told me no way, Robert, we need you. You have to stay, Lewandowski confessed, as he proceeded to play two more years at the club.
