Man Utd Make New Move To Sign Bargain £25m Fulham Star

Published

on


A new name has emerged as a potential midfielder target for Manchester United this summer and it may come as something of a surprise to supporters.

United are in the market for two new central midfield signings this summer, with Ederson the first man through the door in a £38million move from Atalanta, although it is yet to be confirmed. And the Red Devils have been linked with lots of other names when it comes to their second signing.

Mateus Fernandes is the one most heavily tipped to make the move, although with West Ham still demanding £80million despite their relegation to the Championship, United may be put off.

Premier League experience could be key for Manchester United

Carlos Baleba, Aurelien Tchouameni and Sandro Tonali are also still in the mix, but United could make a move to sign Sander Berge from Fulham instead.

The 28-year-old would certainly be a cheaper option than the names mentioned above, but is that what United are after?

Berge was almost an ever-present for the Whites last season, starting 34 of the club’s 38 Premier League matches and was called up to Norway’s squad for the 2026 World Cup as a result, with their first game taking place against Iraq on Tuesday night. He has a wealth of Premier League experience under his belt and could actually be a shrewd signing.

According to the Athletic, United are “running the rule” and could make a move, with Fulham likely to “want to make a profit on the £25million they paid two years ago”.

United have actually been linked with Berge in the past. The Red Devils considered making a move in 2024 when the midfielder left Burnley to sign for Fulham and there were rumours of him coming straight to Old Trafford in the Premier League at the age of 20 in the January transfer window of 2020.

A mystery player arrived at the club’s Carrington training ground, with rumours circulating that it was the Genk star. Berge was falsely claimed to be undergoing a medical ahead of a £20million move to help bolster United’s midfield options, but it was not the case.

Berge would actually sign for Sheffield United, spending three-and-a-half years at Bramall Lane before moving on to Burnley and then latterly Fulham.

The 28-year-old has a contract at Craven Cottage until 2029, with Fulham holding a one-year option to extend that to 20230 too, meaning they hold all the cards when it comes to negotiations over a transfer fee for the Norwegian.

Both Arsenal assistant manager Albert Stuivenberg – who was Berge’s coach at Genk – and former Burnley boss Vincent Kompany described Berge as an “intelligent” footballer and he would certainly fulfil one role in the United team, being firmly a No.6.

Tottenham Agree Contract with Brighton Star Jan Paul van Hecke

Published

Tottenham have now reached a full agreement on a contract to sign yet another player after Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi.

Spurs haven’t been messing around in the summer transfer window as they look to bring in reinforcements to send them back in the right direction.

Robertson arrived at Tottenham on a free transfer after his contract at Liverpool expired. Spurs had initially been pushing to sign Robertson in January before a move fell through, and the Scottish international was waiting to see if Tottenham secured their Premier League status.

Senesi also joined on a free transfer after leaving Bournemouth, and he too was announced shortly after the end of the season.

Tottenham Reach Full Agreement

According to journalist Matteo Moreto, Tottenham and Jan Paul van Hecke have reached an agreement on a contract to secure his signature in the summer transfer window.

A deal now hinges on Tottenham and Brighton agreeing a fee for the Dutch defender, who appears ready to make the move to North London.

Van Hecke, who has been described as ‘incredible’, has just 12 months remaining on his contract at Brighton, leading to doubts surrounding his future.

GIVEMESPORT sources have confirmed that Tottenham have already seen two bids rejected for Van Hecke, with the Seagulls valuing him at around £70 million.

De Zerbi Pushing for Signings

It appears that Roberto De Zerbi is seriously pushing for Tottenham to bring in new reinforcements during the summer transfer window.

The Italian manager arrived with Tottenham in a difficult position, and he and the club both know that they need reinforcements to head back in the right direction.

Reports have claimed that De Zerbi is actively pushing for Tottenham to sign Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali, and the Italian midfielder is open to joining Spurs.

De Zerbi is certainly a demanding manager, but there’s no doubt he’s right if he’s insisting that Tottenham need a host of new additions this summer.

Tom Aspinall Accuses Ciryl Gane of Cheating vs Alex Pereira

Published

UFC heavyweight champion Tom Aspinall has said a number of the shots landed by Ciryl Gane in his victory over Brazil’s Alex Pereira at UFC Freedom 250 looked “very illegal.”

Bon Gamin defeated Poatan via TKO by way of strikes in the second round of their co-main event for the interim heavyweight title, but the winner has been called out by many for his actions during the contest.

The fight took place in front of the White House at the UFC’s showpiece event that marked 250 years since the formation of the United States and also took place on the 80th birthday of President Donald Trump.

Aspinall said on his YouTube channel that some of the punches and elbows that Gane landed shortly before the end of the fight looked questionable as they appeared to land towards the back of the head.

“They look a bit illegal. They look very illegal,” England’s Aspinall said.

“It looked like there was a lot of illegal elbows going on and illegal punches,” he concluded.

However, veteran referee Herb Dean took no action over the strikes.

It’s not just Aspinall who has questioned Gane’s actions, though, as plenty of footage has circled around on social media highlighting the illegal blows the Frenchman was landing.

Home of Fight posted a 30-second clip and claimed to spot ELEVEN shots to the back of Pereira’s head, which can be seen below.

Gane has a controversial reputation for fouling in MMA, having made numerous infractions in his previous bouts. Gane famously poked the eyes of Aspinall in their title fight back at UFC 321, and also struck Jon Jones in the groin during their fight at UFC 285. Fans and MMA experts alike have also noted his tendency for fouls.

Aspinall did, however, say Gane generally looked good in the fight and that Pereira never really got going.

In his post-fight interview in the Octagon, Gane called out Aspinall for a showdown for the undisputed UFC heavyweight title at the upcoming event in Paris at the Accor Arena in September.

Aspinall seemed to accept the challenge, saying: “Paris in September? I’ll do that. I don’t mind. I’ll go to Paris. Let me know. I’ll be there.”


UFC Freedom 250


UFC Freedom 250 Target of ‘Explosive Drones’ Plot With ‘Staged Snipers’ Designed to Kill Thousands

The FBI have released a very worrying statement about what was planned for UFC Freedom 250 at the White House.

Aspinall has not fought since UFC 321 on the 25th of October, when his title defence against Gane was stopped towards the end of the first round due to what was ruled an accidental eye poke by the Frenchman. The bout in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates was officially declared a no contest. Aspinall has since undergone numerous eye operations as he looks to recover and restart his career within the organisation.

The UFC, however, hasn’t made any comments regarding such a fight, and it is unclear whether they would schedule such a fight on foreign soil, especially given the stop-start nature of the heavyweight division over the past years.

Jon Jones was the division’s champion from March 2023 until he retired in June 2025, and he only defended the strap once in that time against Stipe Miocic.

UFC Freedom 250 Target of ‘Explosive Drones’ Plot With ‘Staged Snipers’ Designed to Kill Thousands

Published

The FBI have released a seriously shocking and concerning statement, exposing terror attack plans that were thwarted on Sunday night at the White House while UFC Freedom 250 was taking place.

While the UFC were hosting the special event to help celebrate America’s 250th birthday and President Donald Trump’s 80th birthday, a terror attack was planned involving ‘explosive drones’ and ‘staged snipers.’

Thankfully, all plans were thwarted and a serious tragedy was avoided, but a detailed plan was in place until the FBI stepped in and intervened.

Terror Plans at UFC Freedom 250 Revealed

Federal officials revealed to Fox News Digital that the terror plot planned for ‘explosive-packed drones’ to hit buildings nearby to the UFC event, in the hope of triggering chaos and resulting in a likely mass evacuation, with thousands of people all scrambling to leave the area at once.

Authorities believe the goal was to force panicked and stampeding crowds into the direct path of a sniper team that had already been positioned nearby. It’s also believed that once that initial attack was complete, a second wave of attackers would then storm the White House gate.

It has been suggested that the FBIA first learned about the plot on the 10th of June, a few days before the planned event, and performed a search warrant in Cincinnati, where the first arrest was made. Some of the suspects, however, had already travelled to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on the 12th and 13th of June to make preparations for the attack.

A lot of money was spent by the UFC, not just on the White House.

After searching one of the suspect’s mobile phones, authorities found at least 23 users of encrypted chat app Signal involved in discussing all the details of what could’ve been a truly tragic terror attack. As of Monday, five people have been taken into custody linked to the planned attack.

A suspect later told investigators the aim of the attack was to target capitalist elites, billionaires, and politicians who received money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

FBI Statement About Planned Attacks

In the aftermath of the news breaking, FBI director Kash Patel released this following statement via his official X account.

“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region – and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold.

“While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team – we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens – particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight. That’s exactly what we did here.

“I want to thank our great agents and partners. This work remains ongoing, and we will continue to update the public as permitted.”
