Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has made it clear that Alexander Isak is not for sale, despite growing interest from Manchester United. The Swedish striker has been a standout performer for the Magpies this season, attracting attention from top clubs across Europe.
Howe's Unwavering Stance
Speaking ahead of Newcastle's pre-season friendly in Seoul, Howe addressed the rumours head-on. "Alex is a huge part of our team," he said. "We're building something special here, and players of his quality are central to that vision."
Isak's Impact at St James' Park
Since joining from RB Leipzig in 2022, Isak has established himself as one of the Premier League's most exciting forwards. His pace, technical ability and eye for goal have made him a fan favourite on Tyneside.
"When you see him in training every day, you appreciate just how good he is," Howe added. "He's still young but plays with incredible maturity. We see him as a key player for years to come."
Manchester United's Search for Firepower
The Red Devils have been monitoring Isak as they look to strengthen their attacking options. However, Newcastle's firm stance and the player's long-term contract make any potential deal unlikely this summer.
With pre-season preparations underway, Howe will be relieved to have his star striker fully focused on the campaign ahead as Newcastle aim to build on last season's European qualification.
