Manchester United pursuing Sander Berge for £40 million ahead of season start
Summary

Manchester United is reportedly considering a move for midfielder Sander Berge as the transfer window nears its close. With new signings like Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos in place, doubts linger over the club's midfield depth, especially after Manuel Ugarte's injury. Laurie Whitwell of The Athletic suggests Berge, who has participated in 140 Premier League matches, could be available for around £40 million. The transfer is complicated by Berge's contract with Fulham, running until June 2029, and his willingness to move.
