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.
