EPL, Premiership, English Premier League

“Joining United is a dream come true for me - I look forward to playing my part in helping this club win more honours.”

Former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov has now switched to Manchester United. Tottenham has also stated they will not be pursuing the charges against United for their attempts to obtain Berbatov. In July Tottenham sent the Premier League a full year of evidence which illustrated Manchester Uniteds repeated attempts to obtain Berbatov in a ‘disgraceful’ manner. Ferguson described the signing: “This is a key signing. Dimitar is one of the best and most exciting strikers in world football. His style and ability will give the team a different dimension and I’m sure he will be a popular player with the fans.”

Manchester City also made attempts to obtain Berbatov the moment after they were taken over by the Abu Dhabi United Group. “I would like the opportunity to talk to him but we haven’t been afforded that opportunity. he lad has made his intentions known for some time [playing Champions League football] and it might be difficult to change his focus” said Mark Hughes.
