Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has now admitted that he wanted to join Manchester United when Sir Alex Ferguson was in charge of the club.
The Polish International has revealed that he had already agreed to move to Manchester United, but the two clubs were not able to finalise the deal.
The 36-year-old has now revealed that he does not regret his career path, and he does not have a feeling that he missed out on any experience. The player ended up joining Bayern Munich, and he was exceptional for the German outfit. He has been outstanding since the move to Barcelona as well.

He said (h/t Football Espana): “To Manchester United. I was decided, I said yes to the club, I wanted to join Manchester United. To see Alex Ferguson. At that time, it was might second year at Dortmund, and I know that they cannot just sell me, because if they wait, they will get more money, and maybe I can wait a year or two. It’s true that I’d said yes to United.
“It could have been a great experience, but looking back, I was playing for Bayern Munich, then Barcelona. I’m very happy with the path of my career, I’m to be a part of these two great clubs, and I have no feeling that I missed something, because every decision I made, I wanted to take it.”
