Manchester United linked with Robert Lewandowski amid striker search

Summary

Manchester United is reportedly considering adding Robert Lewandowski to bolster their attacking options. Despite ranking third in Premier League goals last season, the club seeks a more experienced striker after Benjamin Sesko's injury issues. Lewandowski, whose contract with Barcelona expires at the end of the month, scored 19 goals in 46 appearances last season but is viewed as not fitting United's current profile for recruits. Journalist Tyrone Marshall suggests United prefers a back-up striker of lower profile than Lewandowski. A return for former United player Danny Welbeck is among alternatives.
