Which Premier League club would be better for Isco? Manchester United or Liverpool

Various reports from the past few days suggest that Premier League arch-rivals Manchester United and Liverpool will be battling out for the signature of Real Madrid's Spanish playmaker Isco. Both the clubs are showing interests in signing the out-of-favour Real Madrid player in the summer.

Isco has had a difficult campaign at Real Madrid which has seen him score just one goal in LaLiga so far. He has started just five times for the LaLiga giants in the league this season and has spent most of his time on the bench.

Early in November, the midfielder was left out of the squad for their Champions League clash against Roma and Solari said that it was purely a tactical decision. Despite a roller coaster ride as a Real Madrid manager, Solari has shown us in the past few months that he is not a fan of Isco.

Hence, the talented player is looking for a move away from Spain and the Premier League is his next likely destination. To take advantage of the playmaker's situation at Real Madrid, Manchester United and Liverpool are in the fray to sign Isco in the upcoming transfer window.

Isco's next destination would more or less decide his footballing career. With the current circumstances at both the clubs, which team would be a better fit for Isco. Liverpool or Manchester United. Let us find out.

Liverpool has had two successive goal-rich seasons and the main reason for that has been their impressive attack. Although they have looked off-color in a few games, the trio is still one of the best in Premier League.

A major vacancy in the team has been a good attacking midfielder in the team. After Liverpool sold Philippe Coutinho last year, the club brought in Xherdan Shaqiri into the squad. Although the Swiss playmaker is a good talent, his signing was more of a market-forced move. Also, the absence of Brazilian's creativity in Liverpool’s midfield has been felt in the past few weeks as the Reds dropped points in the Premier League.

Hence, a slot is still open at Liverpool at this position and Isco could be a good fit here. However, it should also be noted that Jurgen Klopp is someone who uses less of the Central Attacking Midfielder position in his tactics. The CAM position is also Isco's most preferred playing spot.

On the other hand, Manchester United used a number of attacking midfielders before settling with Paul Pogba under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Frenchman has flourished in this new role and has been involved in a number of goals. Andreas Pereira was also good at this role in the thrilling game against Southampton held last Saturday. If United let go Sanchez in the summer, Isco's move to Old Trafford will make a lot of sense.

Manchester United's big signings have failed in recent times and Isco must consider this before deciding on his next destination. Although Isco could be a regular starter in the club, he should be aware of the club's newfound weapon of scoring goals in counter-attack.

Manchester United has a number of academy graduates waiting in the wings to get into the senior squad and Isco may well face a Real Madrid-like situation at Manchester United if he has a rough patch of form. Considering the circumstances at both the clubs, Liverpool seems to be a better bet for Isco now.
