HIGHLIGHTS

 * Manchester United are looking for further additions as they close in on
   Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui from Bayern Munich.
 * Burnley's Sander Berge and Monaco's Youssouf Fofana are two players United
   are keeping tabs on.
 * Montpellier's Akor Adams could be an alternate option to Dominic Calvert
   Lewin.

In a bid to better their woes of last season, Manchester United have already
dipped into the transfer pot this summer with the capture of Leny Yoro and
Joshua Zirkzee with the likes of Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui also
close to an Old Trafford switch. However, with new ownership putting further
pressure on Erik ten Hag to pull his side out of last term's eighth place slump
(the club's worst finish since 1989-90), more signings look to be inbound as the
Dutch manager aims to add to last season's FA Cup triumph.



Midfield additions seem to be on the agenda at Old Trafford, as well as another
forward option. With that in mind, here are the latest rumours and some of the
players United might look to sign in the final weeks of the summer window.

HOW MANCHESTER UNITED SHOULD LINE UP VS FULHAM AFTER COMMUNITY SHIELD LOSS

Erik ten Hag has some big decisions to make ahead of Man Utd's Premier League
opener vs Fulham.





SANDER BERGE


BURNLEY




Sander Berge has been linked with a number of top clubs in his time, with his
spell in the Premier League with Sheffield United pre-empted by interest from
Arsenal and Liverpool at one point. However, now at Burnley, it seems that the
bigger clubs are circling once again as his abilities are perhaps suited to a
higher level than that of the Championship. Switched on to that notion, the Turf
Moor bigwigs see the Norwegian international as an important asset - valuing him
at £30m as links to Manchester United ramp up.

Berge didn't feature at all in Burnley's pre-season matches. He was also away
from the squad for the second-tier opener on Monday night as Burnley beat Luton
Town 4-1 at Kenilworth Road. In the case of if he's worth it, his personal
numbers are solid in comparison to Casemiro, a divisive figure at Old Trafford.
The arrival of the imposing Burnley man could be excellent competition, and an
eventual replacement for the Brazilian former Real Madrid star.

MAN UTD 'IN TALKS' TO SIGN BURNLEY'S SANDER BERGE

Burnley midfielder Sander Berge’s future at Turf Moor has taken a new twist.






YOUSSOUF FOFANA


AS MONACO



Another player of interest for United seems to be Youssouf Fofana of Monaco.
While any further purchases have to be helped along by United selling players on
- this has already been bolstered by the exit of Aaron Wan-Bissaka to West Ham,
as well as Scott McTominay's potential exit. If McTominay does leave in this
window, either Berge or Fofana would be excellent captures.

The 25-year-old French international, described as a 'monster' and 'game
changer,' is yet another ideal asset within Ten Hag's midfield, as he offers a
plethora of excellent performances as well as favourable numbers that make solid
reading alongside those of some of the best midfielders in Europe. The dynamic
all-action midfielder's FBREF stats, featured below, arrive in comparison to
positional peers in the men's big five leagues, Champions League and Europa
League over the last 365 days. These include: Ryan Gravenberch, Federico
Valverde, Fabian Ruiz, Enzo Fernandez, and even Bruno Guimaraes. Currently,
Monaco have placed a £30m value on their midfielder, as AC Milan and West Ham
have registered their interest alongside United.

AKOR ADAMS


MONTPELLIER




The final player to feature in this piece is Montpellier's 24-year-old Nigerian
forward, Akor Adams. Hhis selection in this piece arrives with Manchester
United's reported interest in Dominic Calvert-Lewin. While Calvert-Lewin is a
tempting choice for United, while looking at similar players via FBREF, Adams
stuck out. At 24, and despite DCL's Premier League experience, Adams has been
developing nicely in France's Ligue 1 and looks to be a more exciting addition
than that of the Everton man - a player who has ultimately struggled with
injuries as well as form.

Additionally, with Adams' value believed to be in excess of €14m (£12m), he
could be a better long-term investment than Everton's current valuation of the
27-year-old, which will presumably go over the current €22m (£18.7m).
