Berba: My dream season

After playing a major role in United's title success, Dimitar Berbatov admits his debut campaign couldn't have gone much better.

The Reds' number nine has netted 14 goals in all competitions, including nine towards the title-race triumph, but the Bulgarian knows he can't rest on his first-season laurels.

"It's a dream come true to be at United," Dimitar told MUTV. "But I know I must keep playing and training at the highest level possible because that is what life at this club is about - playing every game 100 per cent, training 100 per cent and of course, winning things."

Comparisons have been drawn between the playing styles of Berba and Reds' legend Eric Cantona and Dimitar revealed that, like the French maestro, he is a bit of a perfectionist.

"I know when I play well and when I play badly," he added. "When I go home I stare at the TV and watch so when the next match comes I try to learn from my mistakes and do better. And I have Sir Alex telling me what I do wrong and how I can improve."

Berbatov was also keen to pay tribute to his team-mates for helping him settle in so quickly to life at Old Trafford.

"I don’t have the words to say how much I appreciate the help the players have given me, from my first day here until now. They've made me feel like I have been here for ten years!"
