Robert Lewandowski was ready to join Manchester United in 2012. I agreed to go to Manchester United. I remember we once talked with Ferguson, it was in 2012. I remember that conversation, it took place before the start of the preseason. I knew he was going to call.
Ask the club [why the deal wasn`t done]. I remember talking to the president of Borussia, he told me that the team needs me, that they won’t sell me to Manchester United, because I am very important, and now is not the best time for this.
But I agreed then, it’s true. I agreed to join Manchester United because you can`t say no when Sir Alex Ferguson calls you. Moreover, I was 22 or 23 years old.
I was happy in Borussia, but Manchester United was at its peak, ” the Barcelona forward said in an interview with Rio Ferdinand.
