# Lewandowski set for Manchester United move

![](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Robert-Lewandowski1_2868834-150x150.jpeg)He has been a firm favourite at the Football Transfer Tavern over the last few months and it looks like being a happy New Year for B[orussia Dortmund](https://www.transfertavern.com/) forward [Robert Lewandowski](https://www.transfertavern.com/)who is set to sign for Manchester United according to the [Mail Online](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2253593/Robert-Lewandowski-set-sign-Manchester-United.html).

The striker has long been linked to the English giants, but with Dortmund riding high in the Champions League – pipping Real Madrid to the top spot in their respective group – a move in the summer looked most likely. However the club are willing to let the player make a dream move for around £18 million after resigning themselves to losing the player.

The Polish player has pushed to join Sir Alex Ferguson’s men and has agreed a deal that will net him £4.1 million annually, putting him right up there with the top earners at the club. United of course already have a formidable strike force with Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and co netting 48 goals in 19 games yet Fergie believes that pairing the 23-year-old with van Persie and playing Rooney just behind will give the team a different dimension.

Lewandowski has already bagged 14 goals in 23 appearances, including netting  against Real Madrid – United’s stellar opponents in the forthcoming Champions League knock-out round.
