The 21-year-old, who has made 20 appearances for Norway, has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at Bramall Lane and becomes United’s third signing of the January transfer window, following in the footsteps of Jack Rodwell and Jack Robinson.

United fought off interest from a host of other clubs to secure Berge’s signature and boss Chris Wilder said he was delighted to finally land his man.

“The board have really backed us in this window to bring in players of the quality of Sander,” he said.

“He fits the bill in so many ways. He's a Norwegian international who has played 20 times for his country, he's also played Champions League football and we're delighted he has decided to come to Bramall Lane.”

And Wilder's delight has been echoed by United fans, who have taken Twitter to welcome Berge.

@daviesblades83 Well done to the owners and the board, the gaffer for getting this signing over the line. Fantastic news.

@BAZLORD This just isn’t @SheffieldUnited, where’s the catch?

@S10Blade Welcome to #sufc Sander. Great signing and can't wait to see you bossing the midfield with Flecky and Norwood.

@AndrewKenyon6 Cracking piece of business, this amazing journey and turn around of our beloved club is incredible. Onwards and upwards Blades

@MW__photog The signing of Sander Berge for #SUFC is currently the 5th highest paid fee for a player in the Jan 2020 transfer window. We're just a pub team #TwitterBlades

@ScottyDshaw90 This is an absolute statement of intent! What Chris Wilder has done to this club is nothing short of phenomenal.

@CallumHobson__ If we're signing players like this in January then what's the summer going to be like??

@davidrstaylor From haggling over pounds in League One to signing one of football's most promising youngsters while pushing for a European spot. In the space of four years. Magical. Up the mighty Champions League Blades (tbc) #sufc #twitterblades
