Sir Alex Ferguson, who has trailed Lewandowski for 18 months, says he has new hope of landing the Poland forward, who scored four goals against Real Madrid in the Champions League last week.
United always feared Lewandowski, who has a year left on his deal, would end up at Bayern and reports hinted he had signed a pre-contract agreement.

Dortmund fans are already up in arms that midfielder Mario Gotze has agreed to join Bayern in the summer after they met a £23m buy-out clause and there is disquiet among the club's hierarchy about the reaction if Lewandowski follows.
Ferguson plans to exploit that to partner Lewandowski with Robin van Persie.
He said: 'The Dortmund fans are not going to be happy by what has happened. I don't think the club will sell Lewandowski to Bayern. I think they'll let his contract run out or sell him elsewhere.
