Sander Berge reveals how he plans to get even better for Sheffield United ahead of West Ham clash

The Norwegian, who was United's record signing until the recent arrival of Rhian Brewster at Bramall Lane, has been United's best player so far this season with a series of stand-out displays showing he now feels acclimatised to English football since his move from Genk in January.

And after getting off the mark for the season in United's recent defeat at Anfield, Berge is seeking to add more to his game as he looks to inspire United away from the bottom of the Premier League table.

"Between the boxes we have been just as good if not better than before, but the game is decided in the boxes," Berge said.

"We have conceded too easily at times but that's football, you get punished in the Premier League.

"I'm happy to have played a big part so far and I hope to contribute more and make sure we win more games.

"I want to add goals and assists and be even more productive in my games."

Chris Wilder's men go into Sunday's game against West Ham still looking for their first win of the season, after a difficult run of fixtures that saw them take just one point from games against Fulham, Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea.

Only David Moyes' Hammers have endured a more difficult start to the season in terms of teams faced, according to from Infogol that analysed the forecasted finishing position of each Premier League team.

And Berge added: "We haven't got as many points as we wanted but we have had some very good performances.

"The first half against Fulham at home was very strong, even if we dropped in the second half.

"I think we were very good against Leeds and could easily have drawn or won it. It was a case of small margins. They've shown since that they are tough opponents and even in the Liverpool game, you saw how we can perform.

"If we keep building on that, I'm sure it will turn."
