The Clarets star is excited about the possibility of joining Man United on a contract worth £100,000 a week, but the Red Devils have to get somewhere close to hitting Burnley’s asking price for the move to come to fruition.
While Berge is not a very popular player, he is hugely underrated, and the Old Trafford club know he has what it takes to improve their midfield.
Only Manchester City star Rodri had a better long pass accuracy than the Man United target last term.
Berge completed 125 of the 154 long passes he attempted in the Premier League in 2023-24 – an accuracy of 81% – and manager Erik ten Hag could do with such a player in the middle of the park.
Berge played a key role in getting Sheffield United seal promotion to the Premier League last year, with former Blades captain John Egan claiming the Norwegian is ‘one of the best players to ever play in this division’.
Lining up in a quality side like Man United could see the midfielder establish himself as one of the best players in the Premier League, and the Red Devils will hope Burnley is ready to play ball.
The 6ft 5in star, who has impressed Roy Keane, is perfect for the Red Devils, and the fact that he ranked highly in a series of metrics – including dribbles and pressured pass accuracy – last term means he has what it takes to play for them.
