Manchester United ended their 2024 on a particularly low note after losing 2-0 to Newcastle United at Old Trafford on Monday night.
Ruben Amorim’s charges fell to a fifth Premier League defeat in six games and a fourth in a row in all competitions to leave them 14th in the table.
Alexander Isak opened the scoring for Newcastle after just four minutes, while Joelinton doubled the Magpies’ advantage on 19 minutes.
It could have been worse for Manchester United, with Isak having a goal ruled out for offside and Sandro Tonali hitting the woodwork.
Some Red Devils fans had a lot to say about Isak on social media during and after the game.
Manchester United fans would love to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle United
Some Man United fans spoke about the difference in form and quality between Isak and Rasmus Hojlund.
“Difference between Hojlund and Isak is frightening, especially considering they cost the same amount,” said one fan.
Another wrote: “The best way for us to stop Isak scoring is to buy him… that is what you call a real No. 9 not Hojlund.”
One said: “Isak is an amazing player… the difference in quality between him and Hojlund.”
And another added: “Newcastle have Isak, we have Hojlund. That’s why we are where we are.”
Other fans shared how they would love Man United to sign Isak in 2025, with one saying: “Wish Isak signed for us.”
Another wrote: “The money we get from selling Rashford should be used to buy Isak for real.”
And another added: “United's got to break the bank for Isak man. Truly a 100 million pound player.”
How likely are Man United to sign Isak in January transfer window?
It would be incredibly difficult for Man United – or anyone else – to sign Isak in the January transfer window.
Isak is contracted to Newcastle until the summer of 2028, which means the Magpies' hand would be strong in negotiations.
Newcastle World previously reported that Newcastle value Isak at £100million, and with how well he is doing, that price may well be going up by the week.
In addition, the only clubs who would be willing to sell a world-class striker to a rival in the same league mid-season would be those in severe financial difficulties – which isn’t the case at Newcastle.
