“It is true, I have always liked Italian football,” said
Berbatov. “But I preferred England. I am happy there...for the time
being.”
Berbatov’s national team face Italy and Georgia in a World Cup
qualifying double-header that they realistically need to take four
points from, at least, to stand any chance of reaching South
Africa.
Having opened his United account with two goals against Aalborg
in the Champions League, Berbatov is still looking for his first
league goals for the club.
The Bulgarian is unfazed by his lack of goals, however, and
insists that once he has fully bedded in to the team the form that
saw him score 27 goals for Tottenham last season will return.
It is an assessment that teammate Park Ji Sung agrees with.
“Berbatov is a fantastic goalscorer,” said the Korean. “Both of
his goals against Aalborg last week were superb and he has what it
takes to score at least 25 goals for us this season.”
“He is slowly getting used to our system and I’m happy to have
him as a new teammate.”
