Berbatov Ready To Quit Bulgaria

Plamen Markov's men were slaughtered 6-1 as Savo Milosevic ran riot in his 102nd and final international appearance.

The former Aston Villa striker netted twice in Belgrade, but he would have bagged four had he converted a pair of early spot-kicks.

"The emotions got the better of me when I took the penalties as my concentration dropped but I was delighted to go out with a brace, this match kind of summed up my entire career which has been full of ups and downs," Milosevic said in The Guardian.

Despite those lucky escapes, Bulgaria had enough to worry about at half-time after Manchester United forward Berbatov hobbled off the pitch with a suspected hamstring tear.

The news will not go down well at Old Trafford, especially as Wayne Rooney is less than 100 per cent after contracting a chest infection last week.

The Lions of Bulgaria were smashed to pieces by silky Serbia on Wednesday evening and sections of the fanbase are blaming Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov for the nation's poor form.

Berba, who has scored 41 goals in 64 caps, has now had enough of the international scene and is threatening to tell the Bulgarian Football Union to count him out.

The hitman is a doubt for United's crucial clash with Aston Villa at the weekend, having limped out of the 6-1 battering after just half-an-hour with a hip problem. Hips don't lie and a thrashing ensued.

The Sun quotes his agent, Emile Danchev, as saying: “Dimitar said to me that, because people blame him for Bulgaria’s bad performances, he is ready to quit the national team.”

It would make sense. The 27-year-old started to throw his toys out of the pram when things went wrong at Spurs, eventually forcing a mega move to Old Trafford in the Summer. However, Danchev had better remind him that he can't switch to Dunga's Brazilian Seleção!

In focus: Brown could be out for the rest of the season following ankle surgery

Wes Brown has had surgery on his problem ankle which could rule him out for the rest of the year.

The Manchester United defender, 29, last played in the 1-1 draw against Everton at Goodison Park on October 25.

His absence has allowed club captain Gary Neville to step back into the fray along with up-and-coming Brazilian Rafael de Silva.

United will lose striker Dimitar Berbatov for up to 10 days after he picked up a thigh injury on international duty with Bulgaria on Wednesday.

His agent, Emil Danchev, said: ‘According to Manchester United’s medical staff, Berbatov will be recovering between seven and 10 days.’

Berbatov was substituted after 30 minutes with cramp during Bulgaria’s 6-1 defeat to Serbia.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson also has minor doubts over Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney while Owen Hargreaves is recovering from the first of two knee operations in an bid to cure tendinitis.
