Manchester United is ready to jump into the race to sign Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski if his move to Barcelona fails, according to the UK Sun.
Lewandowski has stated his intention to leave Germany this summer.
Barca, on the other hand, is thought to have identified the Poland striker as their top summer target.
However, their financial situation remains precarious, and United is now keeping an eye on the situation.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s return to Old Trafford was made possible by a similar agreement last summer.
The club is said to be unconcerned about his wages of around £400,000 per week, with the player’s agents reportedly putting out feelers in recent weeks to gauge Premier League interest.
