Berbatov Returns To Old Trafford As ‘Best Player’
« on: January 26, 2013, 10:00:16 AM »
DIMITAR Berbatov returns to Old Trafford this weekend having finally been hailed by Alex Ferguson as the club’s “best player” although the team in question is Fulham rather than Manchester United.

The Bulgarian striker, who left Old Trafford in August after four years where he struggled to hold down a regular starting spot despite the odd moment of brilliance and 48 league goals, faces his old team today in the FA Cup fourth round.

When he left United, Berbatov criticised Ferguson for the way he had been treated towards the end of his time at the club and said he had lost respect for his former manager and that he had not even said goodbye to the Scot.

When he takes to the Old Trafford turf again this weekend, he may feel he has a point to prove and Ferguson is well aware of the threat the creative Bulgarian poses.

“He is their best player,” Ferguson told a news conference Friday.

“I don’t think he was a failure here. He was a really good player. At his age it’s not easy to be not playing when I have lots of choices. He wanted first-team football ... and it was the right thing to do. I think he’s doing well there."
