Manchester United's mid-season trip to Japan was ultimately a
rewarding one, as they left with the Club World Cup after defeating
LDU Quito in the final.
It was not such a happy times for Dimitar Berbatov, however, as
the sulky striker spent the entire time laid up with a rather nasty
bout of the flu.
"Personally, the week in Japan was the worst week of my life,"
he told the Daily Mail.
"It's always bad when you are not involved, but it ended happily
with the team winning the trophy, and now we have two League wins
over Christmas."
Berbatov found the net as the Red Devils edged out Middlesbrough
on Monday, taking his Premier League tally this season to
three.
It is not quite the return Sir Alex Ferguson was expecting
when he paid Tottenham Hotspur over £30
million for the Bulgarian international, and many have
questioned whether that money could have been better spent.
But the 27-year-old is determined to recapture the stunning form
he displayed while at White Hart Lane, and he is confident of
helping United to a third straight Prem crown.
"There is plenty more to come from me yet. I will keep working
hard and, along with the other guys, I think we can do a lot,"
Berbatov said.
"We are there and we can win the title. If we win our games in
hand, then it will be in our own hands."
