Manchester United Eye Burnley's Berge as Ugarte Backup Plan

Manchester United are reportedly considering Burnley midfielder Sander Berge as an alternative if they fail to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Red Devils are carefully planning for various scenarios to strengthen their midfield options this summer.

Berge, 26, is open to a transfer following Burnley’s relegation, and the Lancashire club is eager to offload players to stabilize their financial situation.

Despite this, Ugarte remains United’s top choice. PSG have set a firm price of €60 million for Ugarte, reflecting the amount they paid Sporting CP for him last summer. Although Manchester United have offered €50 million, PSG are unwilling to sell at a discount.

This steadfast position complicates United’s efforts, especially with Bayern Munich, two Italian clubs, and another Premier League team also showing interest in Ugarte.
