"What a guy, what a player!! Experienced option next season in UCL & help with development of Sesko? ? https://t.co/WbnVyAM80W Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) May 16, 2026"
"Lewandowski is undoubtedly one of the modern greats after a tremendous career at the highest level in Europe, with a total of 750 goals in 1,103 games for club and country. However, he'll be turning 38 in August and it's hard to imagine he has that long left at the top level, with a move to a less competitive league now surely more likely for him."
"It's perfectly possible that Lewandowski could do well as a squad player for United, but he would surely struggle to now come in and start regularly in the Premier League, which is widely considered to be the most competitive in the world."
"Lewandowski posted a farewell video to Barca on his social media pages, with Man Utd great Ferdinand responding to confirmation of the news from journalist Fabrizio Romano by expressing his view that this could be a deal worth exploring for the Red Devils, as he'd be a good experienced option to have in the squad to help young striker Benjamin Sesko"
Robert Lewandowski is expected to leave Barcelona at the end of his contract on a free transfer. Rio Ferdinand suggested Manchester United could benefit from signing him this summer. Ferdinand said Lewandowski would provide experience for the squad and could help the development of young striker Benjamin Sesko, while also offering value in European competition. Lewandowski has scored 750 goals in 1,103 games for club and country and is regarded as one of the best forwards of his generation. At 38 in August, he is unlikely to be a regular Premier League starter, but he could still contribute as a squad player. Replacing him at Barcelona is expected to be difficult.
