Kuszczak: I urged Sir Alex to sign Lewandowski - Man Utd should try again

Former Manchester United goalkeeper Tomasz Kuszczak says they should consider Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski this summer.

There is talk of Barca encouraging offers for the veteran.

And fellow Pole Kuszczak told OLBG: "There was talk many years ago about him when I played for Manchester United, Sir Alex Ferguson asked me what I thought about Robert when he was a Borussia Dortmund player and I said we should sign him all day long, it would've been fantastic.

"There was a big chance for him to join when he was out of contract at Dortmund, I read that Chelsea were extremely interested in him too. He chose to go to Bayern and did very well, it came close but didn't happen for United.

"If Lewandowski came now he would do the same as he does in any country. In Germany or in Spain now.

"He would be a big asset. I mean, he's an exciting player.

"Maybe technically he's not that tricky, but his finishing skills and his personality and strength, he's an extremely strong man. He could do it, I would love to see him at Manchester United but I think he is a little bit short on time, being 35 at the moment and obviously he is very happy in Barcelona and Spain.

"The chances that he is going to join one of the English clubs are getting smaller. But yeah, why not? He would be great for the league as well."
