Done Deal: After personal terms agreed few days ago, Man United finally completes £100m transfer signing

Less than a day separates Manchester United’s season-opening match from the release of the starting lineups for the Community Shield on Saturday. Despite this, there are still a lot of unanswered transfer-related issues.

Leny Yoro’s expected three-month injury will leave Joshua Zirkzee, a Netherlands international, as the only new player in the matchday squad. The Red Devils have been unable to sign Matthijs de Ligt or Noussair Mazraoui of Bayern Munich thus far.

The absence of a midfield addition should also guarantee that Casemiro, who earns £350k a week, is chosen in front of the back four once more. Jamie Redknapp claimed that Saudi Arabia was no longer interested in the Brazilian, who appeared to be “in Soccer Aid” the previous season.

It is unsettling to consider that the 32-year-old will play alongside Kobbie Mainoo and Bruno Fernandes for another season, but the newest news suggests that the Old Trafford team is at least close to finalising an agreement for a worthy replacement.

Up to date information on Man Utd’s midfielder hunt
The Premier League team is reportedly “closing on” the signing of Burnley player Sander Berge, according to a TEAMtalk report. The Norwegian powerhouse is rumoured to have already expressed interest in relocating to Manchester.

According to the article, the 26-year-old’s personal terms are not anticipated to be a problem. Instead, the team’s current goal is to attempt and agree on a transfer fee.

The 6’5″ midfielder is reportedly valued at over £30 million by the Clarets, though United is expecting to seal a deal for closer to £25 million, including add-ons.
