Man United in pole position to land Borussia Dortmund star

Manchester United look in pole position to land Borussia Dortmund striker Robert Lewandowski after Bayern Munich denied claims they have a deal in place to land the Pole.

Reports in Germany suggested the 24-year-old had signed a pre-contract with the Bundesliga champions and would move either this summer - should Bayern agree a fee with Dortmund - or in 2014 when he becomes a free agent.

But a Bayern statement read: "FC Bayern, contrary to these reports, do not have any contract with Robert Lewandowski."

And that has put the Red Devils in line to land one of the hottest properties in European football after his agent claimed a deal had been agreed with an unnamed club.

"We have reached an agreement with a club and intend (him) to move this summer," Maik Barthel told Sport Bild, who suggested the club in question was Bayern.

"There is a very interesting offer for Robert which fulfils entirely the demands set by Dortmund and also the demands of Robert.

"Dortmund have assured us that Robert can move at the end of the season under these conditions.

"We stick to agreements and now it's up to the clubs to sort things out."
