Man Utd ‘plot move’ for Arsenal target Isak – with three more stars being hunted

Manchester United are reportedly ‘plotting a move’ for Arsenal target Alexander Isak as they prepare to bring in a new striker this summer.

Edinson Cavani is set to depart Old Trafford when his contract expires at the end of the season, with Ralf Rangnick set to prioritise the position in his plans for the summer window.

The Uruguayan has been sharing duties leading the line with superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, but it accepted that United will need to boost their options.

While Rangnick will move into a consultancy role at the end of the current campaign, planning is already underway for potential targets.

According to the Daily Mail, Isak is one of the names on their list, having impressed at Real Sociedad over recent seasons.

While he has only scored eight times this campaign, it is stated that the Swedish international is seen as having ‘potential’ to develop further.

Isak has been a reliable goalscorer for Sociedad since joining the La Liga side from Borussia Dortmund and fired them to winning the Copa del Rey in the delayed 2020 edition of the competition.

Arsenal had previously been considered the favourites to sign him, but have been reluctant to activate his £75million release clause.

While United are now ‘plotting a move’ for him in an attempt to sneak in under the Gunners’ noses, Isak is not the only striker being considered by the Red Devils.

It is stated that there are three more names ‘under consideration’ by United as they search for a replacement for Cavani.

Leading the way is Erling Haaland, who has become one of the best strikers in Europe since joining Borussia Dortmund.

The Norwegian has an astonishing record of scoring 80 times in just 79 games for Dortmund, but United are one of many top European sides trying to sign him.

Also on the list is Inter Milan star Lautaro Martinez, who helped to fire his side to the Serie A title last season and has scored 12 goals to help them lead the way in Italy once again this term.

Martinez only signed a new contract at the San Siro last October, but he is seen as an ‘alternative target’ by United, alongside Bayer Leverkusen's Patrik Schick, who scored the goal of the tournament at Euro 2020 for the Czech Republic.
