Manchester United clears its transfer position against Alexander Isaac

6:17pm, 26 July 2025【Football】

Manchester United has reportedly withdrawn from the competition to sign Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, and rumors of summer transfers surrounding the Swedish striker continue to show a break.

According to the Daily Mail, Manchester United has decided not to join the bidding battle as Liverpool is preparing to make a record-breaking offer and there is interest from the Middle East.

After already investing heavily this summer, the club is focusing on more realistic goals.

Isaac scored 21 goals last season and he is eager to leave Newcastle. But it is reported that the Magpies value him at about £150 million, and Manchester United can't afford the price of a tug-of-war with Liverpool - according to the same report, Chelsea has also withdrawn from the competition, they choose to advance, and Liverpool will have a clear path.

Manchester United have spent more than £130 million on Brentford's Brian Mbeumo and Mattus Cunnia.

Given the restrictions on fiscal fair play and the inability to provide European warfare opportunities, Old Trafford is no longer the dream place it once was - at least not for the striker who is worth £150 million.

Why does Manchester United withdraw from Alexander Isaac's transfer competition?

is just a matter of price. Sources close to Manchester United say the club is cautious about paying too high prices for a player they have never led.

Isaac's talent is obvious, and the club believes that investment is required in other areas.

Oly Watkins was briefly considered, but Aston Villa made it clear that he would not leave. Benjamin Sesco, worth about £60 million, is another name discussed, and even the fee may be a bit barely.

Isack Manchester United thinks their name may be used to support the price - a common strategy during the intense transfer window.

Manchester United has given up.
