United are planning to hold new talks over Alexander Isak, as the Sweden international striker puts his foot down.

Newcastle United have endured a frustrating summer in the transfer market, with reported pursuits of multiple targets, including goalkeeper James Trafford and forward Hugo Ekitike, ending in disappointment. Trafford has joined Manchester City, while Ekitike opted for Liverpool, both in high-profile moves.

Liverpool are expected to come back with an improved offer for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, if the Magpies sign a replacement, according to reports.
