🔍 United’s Position: No Deal on Isak

 

According to Sports Mole, Manchester United are highly unlikely to make an offer for Alexander Isak this summer amidst the club’s already stretched budget following multiple major signings .

 

Insider sources report that the Magpies’ £150 m valuation is a key barrier, one that United are not prepared to meet .

 

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano confirmed: “For Alexander Isak, Man United are not a part of the conversation… Isak is too expensive. So, Man United are not working on this deal.” Chelsea have also withdrawn interest .

 

Further, Manchester World emphasizes United’s fiscal constraints after already spending over £130 million on Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, noting that until substantial funds are freed via sales, Isak remains off-limits .

📉 Why United Have Pulled Out

 

Manchester United have zeroed in on a more disciplined, realistic transfer strategy:

 

Their spending on Cunha and Mbeumo has already exceeded £130m, limiting further high-profile purchases.

 

According to The Sun, United have decided not to make another major investment in a new centre-forward, instead backing existing striker Rasmus Højlund to thrive in Amorim’s system .

 

Rumours linking United to alternatives like Benjamin Sesko and Nicolas Jackson have also been downplayed due to high valuations, leaving Ollie Watkins as a potential realistic target .

Ollie Watkins of Aston Villa has emerged as a leading candidate, though he’s reportedly expensive (£60m+). United are keeping lines open while gauging Villa’s stance .

 

RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko remains under review; United are monitoring him but are equally concerned with costs and feasibility .

✅ Final Word

 

Manchester United’s stance on Alexander Isak is clear and unequivocal: no deal is underway or expected. Despite Isak’s ambition to leave Newcastle and United’s need for a reliable goalscorer, the £150 million price tag—coupled with recent extravagant spending and FFP considerations—has ruled him out of contention.

 

United will continue seeking potentially effective and realistic striker alternatives, but Isak remains firmly off their list for the current window.
