Dimitar Berbatov say that expects to remain at Manchester United beyond this season, but for possibly the first time he has publicly expressed his frustration and not playing more.
He told Bulgarian sports website www.sportal.bg:
“I am a Manchester United player, but I do not currently play in as many games as I want. I’m not happy that I do not play. But I cannot blame anyone, especially in the media. When I have something to say, I go and talk face to face with the manager. He decides everything.”
Speaking about his future at United, Berbatov added:
“There was nothing concrete as an offer to me. I read about such things, but they are more speculation. I do not know how long I will stay at Manchester United. To my knowledge, the clause to extend my contract for another year is automatically activated in March. I know nothing more.”
Berba has started just five of United’s 24 English Premier League matches this season and with the play of Welbeck and Hernandez I don’t see that changing in the foreseeable future.
Even though United have renewed Berbatov’s contract for another season I would not be surprised to see them sell him if anyone offered them close to £8m this summer.
