MU leaves shirt number 9 vacant because of Lewandowski?

According to many sources from England, MU is seriously considering recruiting Robert Lewandowski at the end of the season.

MU's vacant No. 9 is waiting for Lewandowski?

After closing the summer transfer window with 3 new recruits in the front line including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, MU seemed to have completed the attack. However, the "Red Devils" have not closed the plan to hunt for a top-class center forward.

According to transfer expert Ben Jacobs, the MU leadership still leaves the number 9 shirt vacant for special reasons. Meanwhile, Goal said the Old Trafford team is considering the possibility of recruiting Lewandowski as a free agent in the summer of 2026.

The Polish striker's contract with Barcelona expires at the end of this season. The Catalan club have an option to extend it by another year, but are hesitant due to concerns about the 37-year-old's fitness in Hansi Flick's intense pressing system.

Lewandowski has not made a decision about his future. An invitation from MU could change all his plans. The attraction of the Premier League and the opportunity to wear the number 9 shirt make the prospect of "Lewy" coming to Old Trafford not too far away.

For MU, despite Sesko's potential, the team still lacks a real striker - someone with experience who can bring immediate impact. In the context of Joshua Zirkzee being said to be about to leave, bringing in a striker of Lewandowski's caliber is a reasonable move to maintain depth in the attack.

However, this is a high-risk deal. At 37, Lewandowski is no longer as fit as he was at his peak at Bayern Munich. But if MU decide to gamble, they will not only aim for goals but also for the image of a leader who can inspire the younger generation.
