Isak has been a revelation this season, scoring 27 goals including the winner in the Carabao Cup final as Newcastle ended 56 years of hurt to lift their first piece of major silverware since 1969. The Magpies are also chasing Champions League qualification.

Isak’s form has dipped a little in recent weeks, but he remains the jewel in the crown on Tyneside. Newcastle are in no mood to let the Swedish superstar leave this summer, despite speculation linking him with a host of clubs, including Arsenal, PSG, Liverpool and Barcelona.

With a £150m valuation on his head, clubs would have to stump up serious money even if United were tempted to sell.

But Cabaye - who is now assistant academy director at French giants PSG - has told the Magpies that they must do everything in their power to keep hold of him.
