Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has hit out at Alexander Isak amid his links to Liverpool, sending Arne Slot's men and the player himself a clear warning in the process, while Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has also weighed in on the transfer saga.

Andy Carroll has criticised Alexander Isak for attempting to engineer a transfer to Liverpool and claims the striker has severed ties with Newcastle United supporters. Isak missed the Magpies' Premier League opener at Aston Villa on Saturday after making his desire to seal an Anfield switch crystal clear.

Liverpool have reportedly set a deadline for Newcastle United to agree a transfer for Alexander Isak. The Reds want the final decision before the end of the week, as they plan to move for other targets before the window closes.
