Bild say Manchester United are Closing in on Robert Lewandowski After “Mega Offer”: The Daily EPL

Bild magazine in Germany is reporting that Manchester United are closing in on signing Polish striker Robert Lewandowski after tabling a “mega offer.” Ferguson has already said that United won’t be signing anyone in the January transfer window, so whether the story is true or not remains to be seen. A summer transfer signing seems more plausible.
