Manchester United have been handed encouragement in their pursuit of Borussia Dortmund's Robert Lewandowsi, after the clubs chief executive admits 'economical factors' will decide his future, the Telegraph reports.
Sir Alex Ferguson has been a long term admirer of the towering Polish striker and even personally went to scout him at the Etihad Stadium in October while he was in action against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Dortmund reportedly rejected an offer for the 24-year-old from United in August, the same month that Ferguson landed Robin van Persie from Arsenal. However the United chief still seems interested in bringing the striker to Old Trafford.
With Lewandowsi rejecting Dortmund's offers of extending his current contract which expires in 2014, the clubs chief executive has admitted that the right fee could prize their star forward away from the club.
