Is Lewandowski the right fit for Manchester United?

Robert Lewandowski showed why he is still a sort after striker after bagging a record-breaking hat trick in the first 23 minutes of a 7-1 thrashing of the Red Bull Salzburg.

According to Four Four Two, the Poland striker is unhappy with Bayern Munich's management over the failure to offer him fresh terms, with his current deal expiring in June 2023.

Manchester United haven't confirmed their manager for next season, so it remains unclear if signing the Poland striker is the best choice for the Old Trafford club.
