Burnley, preparing for a return to the Championship under new manager Scott Parker, are open to selling the 26-year-old midfielder.
Berge, who made 37 appearances last season, was a key player for the Clarets despite their relegation, and is considered a standout performer in East Lancashire.
Berge’s profile aligns with the midfield role Erik ten Hag’s side is seeking, especially following the departure of Sofyan Amrabat.

The Norwegian international, signed from Sheffield United for £12 million, is a natural number six, which fits United’s requirements.
While United’s interest in Berge has generated excitement, it has also received mixed reactions from fans.
The move could help Manchester United strengthen their midfield as they look to enhance their squad for the upcoming season.
