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.

"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."

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