Manchester United have taken a step towards making Burnley midfielder Sander Berge their third major signing of the summer, with TEAMtalk exclusively learning the Norwegian has said yes to joining and a tempting bid is being prepared.
The Red Devils wasted little time in completing deals for Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro. However, despite agreeing personal terms with each of Matthijs De Ligt, Noussair Mazraoui and Manuel Ugarte, Man Utd are still to push their third major arrival over the line.
That is the price PSG paid to sign the Uruguayan from Sporting CP one year ago and their insistence they break even has resulted in Man Utd pulling the plug.
Instead, alternatives in the engine room are being sought, with the likes of Youssouf Fofana, Richard Rios, Martin Zubimendi, Ederson (Atalanta), Sofyan Amrabat and Sander Berge all drawing links.
Zubimendi looks on course to sign with bitter rivals Liverpool, while TEAMtalk can now reveal Man Utd are closing on on Burnley’s Berge.
We understand the 26-year-old Norway international has said yes to signing with Man Utd and as such, personal terms will not be an issue.
