Manchester United is reportedly interested in signing Alexander Isak, a striker from Newcastle United. However, two famous football pundits in England have different opinions on Man Utd's chances of acquiring him. United's priority is to find a top striker for next season. They tried to sign Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel in January, but he ended up at Tottenham. Current striker Rasmus Hojlund has had trouble scoring this season, though he recently ended a goal drought. Isak, a top forward linked to United, has a hefty price tag of £150 million set by Newcastle. Sweden’s national coach has called Isak the best striker in the Premier League, increasing interest in him. Gary Neville believes that Manchester United has a good chance of attracting Isak. He thinks players often want to join big clubs like United and others. But Jamie Carragher disagrees. He says only Arsenal and Liverpool are real contenders for Isak, as both teams need a striker. Carragher also pointed out that Isak has time left on his contract, putting Newcastle in a strong position. He noted that when a player's contract gets down to two years, the situation becomes more balanced.
