I love that his hero is shearer. Berbatov easily calmest player on the ball I've ever seen.

[@merengue7139]

Van Basten is very underrated. Rarely ever gets mentioned but is undoubtly a top 10 player of all time. Only in Italy he’s still a king

[@Shades-of-76]

Agreed. So elegant yet clinical. Although I’m not sure underrated is the best description, i.e. by those who know, but I get where coming from in terms of popularity. He and R9 are the best two CF’s I’ve ever seen 💚

[@SarawakPollster]

van basten was a ballon dor and from 88-92 arguably the greatest striker in the world :D Injury would wreck his career too early...

[@merengue7139]

@@SarawakPollster 3 ballon d’ors my friend. Multiple european cups and titles, crazy goalstats and got The Netherlands their only ever trophy by winning the European Cup in 1988 with some crazy goals (especially the goal in the final was one of the best ever). This guy got legend status and retired at 29. He was that striker that was both lethal and beautiful to watch. Sheer quality. Henry and Ibra said he was their rolemodel

[@Shades-of-76]

@@merengue7139 Absolutely 😎 He really was the complete striker. Amazing control, link up play, distribution and vision. Greating heading also. Superb acrobatic goals, against Gothenburg and that unreal one for Ajax against Den Bosch. A big game player too, so many clutch goals. I love him 😍😂

[@jzlnz]

I rate him him highly. In particular order based on skills and technique R9, Ronaldinho, Messi Baggio and Van Basten.

[@timlowe7538]

Always love listening to Berba, from his playing style I used to think he didn't care too much about the game and just played it to earn a cheque but its clear he has a lot of footie knowledge and thinks like a fan

[@irvinarias6838]

My team is Real Madrid but I have a soft spot for Manchester United as my brother is a fan. Back then we didn’t have as much money so we could not afford cable which meant that I couldn’t watch Real Madrid play, but they did have fox deportes where they showed the premier league. I remember getting up early in the morning with my brother at like 5am sometimes even 4am and watch Manchester United games. Berbatov was just something else when I watched him play. So elegant. Not many people think of him when it comes to great strikers but man was he amazing back then. I still remember that 5 goal thriller against Blackburn.

[@Sigurjon96]

Best footballer ever. My childhood idol. Such a legendary striker. Whenever Berbatov has the ball the game gets a lot more exciting. He has this certain good influence that no other player has. An absolute soccer artist. Always a threat in the forward line. Just talent and skill in its purest form. Very energetic as well people underestimate him constantly. So many great performances from Dimitar Berbatov. Incredible first touch, dribbling and finishing.

[@nunique_talent]

Legend ❤ there’s just not many footballers around anymore of this genius. Hearing him talk, with class, even his taste in shirts, was exactly what he showed on the pitch. Absolutely legend for real 👏🏽

OK, didn't know Berba looked this different to his playing days. Would have never recognized him.

[@steff1395]

He was a great player for sure. But when i look back at his time at united, i dont feel he was the right fit for this united side back then. He was not a flop but he wasn't the guy that was bringing us to a new level also. He played a more free role up front, was not the typical number 9 striker. I would have gone for a more tevez type of player with hard work of the ball, fast, more mobile player. I can not exactly remember wich other players where avaible to sign back in 2008. Overall i think his time was just average at united, and fergie got rid of him a few years later for van persie who was the better fit for him and united. Memories of a united fan from the good old days.
