WHAT HAPPENED?
Ever since Isak informed Newcastle that he wanted to leave the club, Liverpool have been actively trying to sign the Sweden international. Amid this transfer saga, ex-United coach Meulensteen believes the Reds will be a force to be reckoned with if they can snap up the services of the 25-year-old this summer. He also explained where the Red Devils have gone wrong in recent times, in stark contrast to their Merseyside rivals.
Getty Images SportWHAT MEULENSTEEN SAID
He told Poker Strategy: "If Liverpool manage to get the Alexander Isak deal over the line, I think they’d be looking at winning the treble next season; that’s how powerful they’ll be. I’d be shocked if Liverpool weren’t there or thereabouts next season in terms of the league title. It just goes to show the difference between Liverpool and Man United. Years ago, a clear philosophy of what Liverpool wanted to achieve was installed and Jurgen Klopp firmly planted the seeds of how he wanted the team to play – high intensity and high octane football. The most decisive factor in Liverpool’s success is that they’ve recruited the perfect manager to succeed Klopp. That’s exactly where Man United have gone wrong – on several occasions. Arne Slot has built on everything Klopp left to him, with some slight tweaks here and there. Slot has brought in some great players and the club have been very efficient in the transfer window so far. That’s everything Man United have done badly in the last decade."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Isak is said to be valued at up to £150 million ($200m) by Newcastle, a figure Liverpool may not be willing to reach. The Reds won the Premier League title at a canter last season and if they had the former Real Sociedad man at their disposal, another treble tilt could be within their grasp.

Time is running out for Liverpool to sign Isak, and Newcastle to find a possible replacement, as there are just over three weeks left of the summer transfer window. Time will tell if a deal can be thrashed out in the coming weeks.
