Sky Sports Germany, France's L'Equipe and Poland's sport.tvp.pl all report that Lewandowski, who has scored 14 goals in all competitions this season, is to sign a five year contract to join Wayne Rooney and others at Old Trafford.
Lewandowski, who has a contract at the Bundesliga champions until 2014, said earlier this year that he is looking for a move to “a large Premier League club”.
Borussia Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp has refused to conform the reports, however.
“I have a good feeling that Lewandowski will continue playing for us,” sport.pl reports him as saying.
Others thought to be interested in the 24 year-old top Polish striker include Manchester United's neighbours, Manchester City, who won the Premier League last season.
Man United are currently three points clear at the top of the Premier League. (pg)
