Ruud van Nistelrooy and Carlos Tevez wouldn’t sit on our bench, but here we have a player, the top scorer in the league no less, who claims he is the happiest man in the team, despite losing his place in the first XI, because United have won the league and he has contributed to that.Īhead of last night’s Champions League final, we all knew that if Ferguson was going to play two strikers from the start, Berbatov wasn’t going to be one of them. To win 19 titles is a fantastic achievement.” I am the happiest man in the team because I’m a champion and top goalscorer in the league. “Now I am part of United’s 19th title and I want to be part of the 20th, that’s my plan.
Still, come the end of the season, after lifting the trophy, the Bulgarian spoke exactly like you would like a United player to. Rooney turned his season around and our new Mexican striker scored too regularly to leave out. Over the last few months of the season, Berba lost his place in the starting line-up to Chicharito. Without his contribution, we would not have lifted than 19th title last weekend. At the end of January, Berbatov had scored more hattricks for United than Rooney had goals. Whilst Wayne Rooney, the player who carried us the season before, was handing in a transfer request and not scoring, Berbatov was the player pushing us on, along with Nani. After spending the first two seasons not scoring as many goals as a £30m striker should, he was awarded with the Premier League golden boot this season and, according to Opta, scored more winning goals than any player in the league. He’s a classy player who is a joy to watch on the ball. I have made no secret of my admiration for Dimitar Berbatov in his three seasons at the club.
