Amorim disillusioned with Lewandowski

Coach Ruben Amorim's shocking plan to bring Robert Lewandowski to Old Trafford was flatly rejected by MU co-owner - Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

MU owner refuses Amorim's request for Lewandowski.

Although the Portuguese strategist believes that the appearance of the veteran Polish striker will bring a positive impact to the dressing room, the British billionaire believes that this is the type of deal that MU "cannot be allowed to repeat the mistake".

Lewandowski, 37, is entering the final year of his contract with Barcelona and has not received an offer of a new contract. The former Bayern Munich striker earns a whopping £540,000 a week and is expected to leave on a free next summer, prompting a number of big European clubs - including Manchester United - to consider signing him.

However, according to British media, Sir Jim Ratcliffe firmly said no. He emphasized that the club's new transfer policy is to invest in the future, not to spend blindly on outdated stars - an expensive lesson after a series of unsuccessful deals such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane, Edinson Cavani or Bastian Schweinsteiger.

In the context of MU trying to cut the huge salary fund and rebuild the squad towards youth, Lewandowski - despite his class and experience - is not in Ratcliffe's plan. For this billionaire, the era of "short-term but expensive" contracts at Old Trafford has officially ended.
