Berbatov’s Sour Farewell to Man United…
Dimitar Berbatov threw some spicy shade at Sir Alex Ferguson, saying goodbye to everyone but the legendary manager when he left Manchester United. Becoming the Red Devils’ most expensive player in 2008, Berbatov dazzled on the field with mind-blowing goals. But as quickly as you can say ‘potato salad,’ the relationship with Ferguson soured. Despite scooping up a Golden Boot during his time, he was benched more often than a judge at a bodybuilding contest, playing just 28 minutes in his final 15 games during the 2011/12 season.
Berbatov made a dramatic exit to Fulham at the end of that season, leaving without a wave to Sir Alex. In a candid chat, he pointed out that it was just like expecting a cat to bark—it wasn’t happening! Even though he knocked in 15 goals during his first Fulham season, Berbatov wanted to remember his Old Trafford days with pride. Perhaps he’s crafting a novel titled ‘Respect, Goals, and Goodbye’ while enjoying Fulham vs. Man United this Sunday. The clock chimes 4.30pm! Will Berbatov tune in with popcorn, or perhaps just a dignified nod of acknowledgment for his former club?
