Manchester United are interested in signing Fulham’s Sander Berge to reinforce their midfield this summer.

Carlos Baleba, Sandro Tonali, Alex Scott and Adam Wharton are also among a list of targets but The Athletic now report Berge is another option United are weighing up.
The 28-year-old, currently with the Norway squad at the World Cup, could be considered a cheaper alternative to some of their more high-profile targets although the Cottagers would want to make a profit on the £25million they spent bringing him to Craven Cottage two years ago.
Berge could be viewed as a Premier League-proven replacement for Ugarte with United eager to add to their options ahead of their return to the Champions League.

United are also keen to bring in a left winger to bolster their attack with Crysencio Summerville of the names now under serious consideration.
The 24-year-old impressed in east London last season despite the Hammers’ relegation to the Championship, further enhancing his reputation with a superb goal for Netherlands in their World Cup opener against Japan on Sunday night.

The Athletic report United are paying ‘serious attention’ to the 24-year-old and have enquired into a move. West Ham value the former Leeds United star at £50million.
United are light on natural wide options on the left although Patrick Dorgu could now be considered as such having impressed in a more advanced role in the second half of last season.
Summerville joined West Ham in the summer of 2024 for a reported fee of £25million, scoring seven goals and providing five assists last season.
