Following their decision to stifle their interest in Manuel Ugarte, it was revealed earlier this week that United had the Norway international on their transfer radar.
It’s known that the Red Devils are searching elsewhere as a result of Paris Saint-Germain’s assessment of the Uruguay international.
Berge is one of an extensive list of potential targets that new sporting director Dan Ashworth and Ineos are considering moves for. Monaco and France star Youssouf Fofana, Wolves’ Joao Gomes and Sofyan Amrabat, who hasn’t yet returned to the club, have all been linked.
According to Sky Sports, United have held initial talks with Burnley regarding Berge. It’s said they are ‘exploring conditions’ of a deal to bring Berge to Old Trafford. Reports elsewhere this week have suggested that the 26-year-old would cost around £30million.
Berge himself is understood to be keen on a move to Old Trafford. Sky Sports have reported the midfielder wants to complete a return to the Premier League after being relegated with Burnley.
There has also been an update on their pursuit of Fofana, who is now in the final 12 months of his contract in France. The same report from Dharmesh Sheth states that dialogue remains open with Monaco over a possible deal.
Before the end of the season, it was claimed that Monaco were persisting with their £30.1m (€35m) valuation of the 25-year-old. AC Milan had been the frontrunners to land the France international but it’s now claimed they have cooled their interest after failing to agree on a deal
