Man Utd Transfers: 10 Strikers That Could Be Louis van Gaal's 'Secret Signing'
7. Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
If they can't get Thomas Muller then why not try to his team-mate? Robert Lewandowski is reportedly available for half the price of his German colleague (around £35million) but is arguably a better fit for Louis van Gaal's system. The Polish striker would offer height, vision, flair and goals and alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the best number nine in the world. Lewandowski grabbed 25 goals last season and six in the Champions League and would slot perfectly into a 4-3-3. Accompanied by Angel Di Maria and Memphis Depay the side would be close to demonstrating the same tenacity that Carlos Tevez, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo produced during 2006-09.
