They have the world’s best player in Cristiano Ronaldo and their German coach Ralf Rangnick is widely respected for his work and ideas. I feel they will get back to their best very soon. Obviously we haven’t won the Premier League after he left. I had the privilege of playing under one coach, Alex Ferguson. Players are changing, coaches are changing all the time. Obviously the comparison with ‘old’ United and the current one crops up and Berbatov is full of hope. But now when I replay those moments, the bicycle kick goal against Liverpool comes to the top of my mind,” said Berbatov during an exclusive interaction with TOI as part of the United We Play initiative, which is supported by Apollo Tyres and Manchester United. “Every goal you score, however ugly or beautiful, is precious for a striker. Recalling those heady days at Old Trafford, Berbatov often gets nostalgic. The cool and com-posed Bulgarian scored 56 goals in 149 appearances for the Red Devils including the mesmerising hat-trick against arch-rivals Liverpool. Berbatov won two league titles at Manchester United and was the top scorer in the second of those - 2010/11. Berbatov used to be the stylist, the magician, a luxury that even Alex Ferguson, the master of the helter-skelter, could ill afford. Time has failed to whittle away his passion for the red shirt. It’s been almost a decade now that Dimitar Berbatov gave up his Manchester United shirt.
