Manchester United are reported to have done a bid for Burnley midfielder Sander Berge as they look to rebuild Erik ten Hag's squad.
Paris Saint-Germain's Manuel Ugarte is United's leading man and the Uruguayan is known to be keen on a move to Old Trafford, but his €60m (£51.1m) price tag has proved problematic until until now.
Although Ugarte remains the preferred option, United appear to be preparing to miss out on the 23-year-old as a player. Daily Mail have the bid sent to Berge.
Burnley, who were relegated from the Championship last season, are bidding for Berge for £30m and United's bid sounds like they couldn't get it.
Berge, who made his United debut in 2019, is set to play for Burnley this season, despite manager Scott Parker insisting the 26-year-old is dealing with a minor injury.
Ugarte was also left out of PSG's squad for their Ligue 1 opener. The French side are keen to do business but are currently refusing to budge from their calculations, which is how much they paid to sign Ugarte from Sporting CP last summer.
With another signing needed, another report recently named Atalanta's Ederson as a possible target for the Red Devils.
It is thought United need to raise funds before making more signings after an expensive summer that brought Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to Old Trafford.
Talks have resumed with Fulham regarding the possible sale of Scott McTominay, who is also wanted by Napoli. The Cottagers have seen two bids rejected, the most recent for £20m, but remain keen on the Scotland international and could make a fresh bid.
