Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton believes Arsenal is a "better choice" than Manchester United for Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski.
Lewandowski, who has a year left on his contract at the Allianz Arena, has declared publicly that he intends to leave the Bundesliga winners this summer.

As Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga last season, the 33-year-old striker scored 35 goals in just 34 Bundesliga appearances.
Last season, he scored 57 goals in 55 games for club and country.
Barcelona, Chelsea, and Manchester United are all said to be interested in signing Lewandowski this summer.
Sutton, on the other hand, has warned the Poland goal-machine to reject a transfer to Manchester United and instead join rivals Arsenal.

According to Sutton, he doesn't see why Lewandowski would want to join United and believes that Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Arsenal are all better options.
"I've seen that Lewandowski has been linked," Sutton said on Radio 5 Live.
"If he does not join Barcelona, he will join Manchester United."
"But why?! What makes him desire to join Manchester United? There are larger and better options available.
"At this time, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Spurs are better options than Manchester United, while Arsenal are a better alternative than Manchester United."
"One club appears to be stable under Arteta; I'm not saying Arteta has ripped down too many trees, but they are in a better situation and better placed than Manchester United."
Lewandowski has scored 344 goals and given 77 assists in 374 outings for Bayern Munich since joining them from Borussia Dortmund.
Lewandowski is reportedly paid £329,000 per week at Bayern Munich and demands £400,000 per week from clubs interested in signing him.
Manchester United are now in transition, with new manager Erik ten Hag taking over from Ralf Rangnick's unsuccessful interim tenure.
