Report: Manchester United considering bid for Robert Lewandowski

Manchester United are eager to follow up the signing of Bastian Schweinsteiger from Bayern Munich with a bid for striker Robert Lewandowski, according to a report.

The Poland international, who signed for the Bavarian giants on a Bosman from Borussia Dortmund last year, has scored 30 goals in 53 appearances for club and country over the last 12 months.

According to The Telegraph, Red Devils manager Louis van Gaal is keen to land the 26-year-old forward ahead of other names on his shortlist like Edinson Cavani and Karim Benzema.

Lewandowski began his career at Polish club Znicz Pruszkow in 2006 before moving on to Lech Poznan two years later and subsequently heading to Dortmund in 2010.
