Paul Heckingbottom is a relieved man after Sander Berge committed his immediate future to Sheffield United. It was the Blades’ manager who spilled the beans on the Norweigan’s possible exit last weekend.
After their 3-3 draw with National League side Wrexham, Heckingbottom was quizzed about Berge’s omission from the squad. The pre-match news was surprising as the 24-year-old has been one of his star performers over the last 18 months.
As it turned out, Bramall Lane chiefs asked Heckingbottom to leave Berge out of the squad due to interest from other clubs. Newcastle United were understood to be one of those monitoring the situation.
