Berge is a shock target
The Old Trafford side got in touch with the player’s camp and the Norwegian, understandably, was delighted with the interest and promptly verbally agreed to United’s offer with only the clubs left to hash out an agreement.
However, that is where the dreaded United tax struck with the recently-relegated side choosing to up their demands forgetting that INEOS are not like the Glazers.
The Daily Mail have now claimed that United submitted their first offer for the former Sheffield United star but the Championship side has rejected the bid.
They are still holding out for £30 million for a player they acquired for only £12 million. The 20-time English league champions are not prepared to pay over £20 million for the 26-year-old “unbelievable” star.
Berge has been left out of the Burnley squad for their first two Championship games of the season with manager Scott Parker revealing the decision was taken mainly as a precaution due to injury concerns.
“Two players who the Red Devils have a keen eye on are Burnley’s Sander Berge and Paris Saint-Germain’s Manuel Ugarte.
