The ambitious Scandinavian is understood to be excited about the possibility of playing at the Theatre of Dreams on a contract worth £100,000 a week.
But that dream move will only happen if United get somewhere close to hitting Burnley’s asking price.
Berge could now be considered an experienced Prem player after making 66 appearances across three separate seasons for Sheffield United and Burnley.
The midfielder has managed three goals and four assists in that time.
On the international stage, Berge has represented Norway 46 times – captaining his country on two occasions.
