Dimitar Berbatov - All 56 Goals and 22 Assists for Manchester United - 2008 - 2012

[@KNDCHV]

As a Bulgarian I am proud of him, but he was so heavily criticized from our media because of the national team. The whole nation was expecting him to score at least 3 goals a match and carry alongside Martin Petron and Stiliyan Petrov. That was unfair. We treated him so badly. While ManU and Totenham's fans loved him more than his own nation. Well I am not sure about Totenham anymore, but ManU's fans loved him as far as I was seeing. He just had such a unique slow paced, intelligent look over the game. Kinda reminds me of Zidane. I remember talking to my father one day and he said: "There's something about him. He is always on the right place at the right time. Like the ball wants to go towards him so he can score". Viewing this clip just makes me confirm that and seeing the good comments just makes me proud that he was the last Bulgarian world class worthy player.

[@colinwoods5663]

[@rabinmaharjanawesome]

mm... as scholes has once said - about doing the right thing as a certain player than doing some over the top things on the reason why he never try to over run or do extra step overs despite his talent. It is same with Berba. He does the right thing which is more productive and still stylish and amazing. makes things look so easy peasy...

Брато, това е вярно, че феновете на Тотнъм и Манчестър Юнайтед го уважават повече от самите българи, но той това си го е заслужил, защото според мен можеше да постигне много повече неща за националките, поне голове щеше да вкара, щеше да бъде много полезен за отбора, но той какво направи на 30 години се отказа от националния, кой каквото и където си е заслужил 😏

Had to come and remind myself of this magic man. Even as a Villa fan the man was class

[@spd7693]

Since you're a Villa fan, I guess you should know they are best friends with Stiliyan Petrov. When Berbatov came to CSKA Sofia Stiliyan was the first man to talk to him and get him into the way the team was playing. Later they continued their friendship and transferred their common plays in the Bulgarian national team. Shortly after Stan was diagnosed with leukaemia Berbatov published a letter he had been writing to him for all the years both had been playing football. Now Berbatov is a candidate for president of the Bulgarian Football Union with Stan being one of his assistants. Even if I am a Man United fan, I am a Bulgarian before all. And I also will never forget what Stiliyan Petrov did for this team. Both of them were more than awesome players. Stan, the tenacious box-to-box midfielder, who never stops running and wanting the ball. And Berbatov, the striker, who always was two moves before the defenders and always knew what to do with the ball before even touching it. Legends forever. So sad Bulgaria no longer has players like them.

Just look how many of his goals and assists came from balls in the air. Berbatov himself said the reason why he could do so well with balls in the air is because when he was a kid in Bulgaria they played on concrete, they had to adapt and be able to control high, bouncing balls.

One of the biggest mistakes of Sir Alex was to not play this man in the final of the Champions League (2010-11). He decided to choose players like Hernandez and Owen, over prime Berbatov. I am pretty sure that if the Bulgarian played that night, United could have had a bigger chance of winning it. The downfall of United started, when this man was thrown away for players like Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.

@Kamen Braykov Why are Bulgarians so biased towards Berbatov? He was no Stoictkov, he achieved nothing with Bulgaria national team, he never won the champions league and for ManUtd he was Berbaflop, a waste of 30million. That goal at 2:12 was his only ManUtd goal against a top5 team in his 4 seasons at the club so definitely no statue for him sorry only legends get statues. He never won the FAcup either and he singlehandedly cost ManUtd at least 2 FAcup's in semi-finals 2008/09 & 2010/11 and those 2 seasons were actually much better ones from him compared to his other 2 and 2009/10 overall he was abysmal and played a part in destroying ManUtd's bid to win a record 4th PL title in a row, played in the 3rd round FAcup match vs Leeds where ManUtd lost to the 3rd tier team at home, scored no champions league goals etc...He only scored 5 champions league goals altogether in 4 seasons and they were all group stage goals, 2 vs Aalborg in his first season 08/09, 2 at home to Celtic same season and then his next and last was 3 years later in his final season at home to Benfica which still wasn't enough to get through the group. So no important champions league goals or performances worth mentioning. His best season 2010/11 Hernandez was still ManUtd's most important striker. He scored just 1 less overall but scored in a lot more games than Berbatov and many close games. A quarter of Berbatov's goals that season came in 1 game vs Blackburn in a 7-1 win which sums him up because it was a game ManUtd would've won anyway without his goals but when it's a much more important time where he has some really good chances vs a better team at 0-0 he misses them, fails to score any and ManUtd go on to narrowly lose.

[@cddb5408]

@@kevinsavuwa Yeah well whatever you call him, it didn't work at ManUtd that's a fact. Also he wasn't an important player for the only giant club he ever played for.

But with Berbatov and Rooney, its just seems they always making the right choice at the right moment.

Waited years for a replacement for Cantona and when they finally got one they got rid of him.

Golden boot winner yet didn't make the squad for the champions league final and UTD got buried, all Fergusons fault the half witted drunken git, and not the first time, did it with Kanchelskis, Beckham, Phil Neville, Keane, Veron, Forlan, didn't see long term, wanted something instant and that doesn't happen, teams need to evolve.
