Manchester United have held initial discussions with Burnley over a deal for Sander Berge as they explore a potential move for the midfielder.
It is understood Berge wants to make the move to Old Trafford. The 26-year-old has three years left on his contract at Burnley. Berge was a shining light in the Clarets' midfield last season but could not prevent them suffering relegation back to the Championship.
Going back to the negotiating table has not been ruled out but is likely to depend on PSG dropping their asking price. Richard Rios of Palmeiras remains a player of interest but his fee could prove prohibitive. Another option is Fiorentina's Sofyan Amrabat, who United had on loan last season. While it is not essential, United would ideally want to create squad space and increase budgets ahead of bringing in a player.
