1. Robert Lewandowski (Borussia Dortmund)
For a long time, it looked as though it was a nailed-on certainty that Robert Lewandowski would leave Borussia Dortmund and join domestic rivals Bayern Munich in the New Year. However, back in October, the Polish international threw a huge spanner in the works by revealing
he wants to play in the Premier League. The goal-machine - who scored 24 Bundesliga goals in 31 appearances last season, and 10 Champions League goals in 13 outings to fire Dortmund to the final - also revealed a deal has yet to be struck with Bayern.
I will be able to sign a contract in January, but I have never said that I will sign a contract with Bayern. It was a misunderstanding. One day I would like to play in Premier League. It would be a great experience.
That's great news for United, who are struggling through an injury crisis up front, with leading goalscorer Robin van Persie
out for a month while
speculation continues to swirl over the Dutchman's long-term future. Meanwhile, Wayne Rooney is out for
an undetermined period of time while there is still no sign of a contract extension in sight
as Chelsea wait to pounce. It could be then that United find themselves in the market for a new striker in January, and there are few better than Lewandowski.
Who do you think United should sign in January? Can they get back into the title race? Let us know in the comment section, below.
