Man Utd Transfers: 5 Essential Summer Targets

1. Robert Lewandowski

With a goal record just shy of one every two games, Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski is one of the most feared strikers on the planet, and the Polish goal plunderer is one of the most prolific forwards in Europe with 60 goals in 121 matches for the German Champions. That's precisely why United have been monitoring developments, with the player set to leave Dortmund this year before his contract expires in 2014. Bayern Munich however are considered an early favourite to land the players signature, but The Sun report that Ferguson is still in the hunt for the attacker. United may have an ample array of attacking players at Old Trafford but Javier Hernandez has struggled to fight his way into a starting berth whilst Danny Welbeck still needs more time to develop. Wayne Rooney has also failed to replicate his prolific goal-scoring form of last season and there is a concern the Red Devils are too reliant on Robin van Persie. The signing of Lewandowski would abate those problems.
