According to reports in media, Manchester United have boosted their chances to sign the Polish striker, after Borussia Dortmund chief said in a statement that Lewandowski won't be going to Bayern Munich this year. However, Dortmund chief executive officer Hans-Joachim Watzke didn't rule out selling Robert Lewandowski this summer. Watzke insisted he won't be sold to Bayern Munich, so leaving the door open to Manchester United.
"I am not saying he will definitely stay but he will certainly not be playing for Bayern in 2013," Watzke said. "Everything else will be discussed with Robert and his advisors in the coming days. Our wish is for Robert to play for Borussia Dortmund next season."
Bayern, who completed a fantastic season earlier this month, were fully expected to buy Lewandowski from the Champions League runners-up after they already persuaded talented Dortmund midfielder Mario Goetze to join them for next season.
Dortmund, who won consecutive league titles from 2011 with Lewandowski but lost 2-1 to Bayern in the Champions League final in May, appeared to have little choice but to sell the player after he refused to extend a contract that ends next year.
Earlier, Alex Ferguson had speculated that Manchester United could make a bid for Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski by suggesting the striker's move to Bayern Munich might not be the done deal. "I am not sure Lewandowski will be sold to Bayern now. The Dortmund fans are not going to be happy and I don't think they will sell to their main rivals. I think they will either let his contract run out, or sell him somewhere else", said Ferguson.
