Liverpool are plotting a move for Alexander Isak (Image: Getty)

Manchester United could act quickly to put a halt to Liverpool’s ambitious plans to sign Alexander Isak this summer.



According to The Times, Newcastle are expecting an offer in the region of £130million for the Sweden international, though it is unclear whether Eddie Howe’s side will even entertain a bid in the region.

If Liverpool’s approach is unsuccessful, they are said to be set to turn their attention to Eintracht Frankfurt star Hugo Ekitike – who is already in talks with Newcastle over a potential move.

The Frenchman is keen to make a Premier League switch this summer and he has a long list of admirers, including United.

Ruben Amorim’s side remain in the race to secure the signature of the 23-year-old and he is among their considerations to lead the line for their side next season.

Thus, if United are able to act swiftly and decisively, there is every chance they could land Ekitike from under the noses of their rivals.

Acquiring his services would likely confirm to Newcastle that they must keep Isak at all costs, while also forcing fierce rivals Liverpool back into the market for a new No.

As a result, United may look to ramp up their fire sale sooner rather than later to ensure they can snatch Ekitike from the grasp of both Newcastle and Liverpool.
