Berbatov Manchester United Acrobatic SportDimitar Ivanov Berbatov Bulgarian: born 30 January 1981 is a Bulgarian footballer who plays as a forward for Manchester United. He captained the Bulgarian national team from 2006 to 2010, and is its all-time leading goalscorer and has also won the Bulgarian Footballer of the Year a record seven times, surpassing the number of wins by Hristo Stoichkov.
Born in Blagoevgrad, Berbatov started out with home-town club Pirin Blagoevgrad before joining CSKA Sofia as a 17-year-old in 1998. He was signed by Bayer Leverkusen of Germany in January 2001 and played in his first Champions League final 18 months later, coming on as a substitute in the 2002 UEFA Champions League Final, which Leverkusen lost 2–1 to Real Madrid. After five-and-a-half years with Leverkusen, he joined English club Tottenham Hotspur in July 2006, where he spent two years before moving to Manchester United. He played in his second Champions League final in 2009, during his side's 2–0 defeat against FC Barcelona. Berbatov is the first non-Englishman in Premier League history to have scored five goals in a single match, having done so in Manchester United's 7–1 win over Blackburn Rovers in November 2010.
Dimitar Berbatov has credited his improved Manchester United displays this season to his efforts in improving his fitness during the summer. The Bulgarian has become the darling of Old Trafford overnight after scoring a hat trick to beat Liverpool on Sunday.
“I’m just so happy and so confident at the moment,” said Berbatov. “I feel like everything I imagine on the pitch will come true and that feels awesome. “I have worked hard on my fitness. So hard. I’m not a weights guy, I’m sure you can see by my body. But I have been trying even to work on that. I ran six miles every day during the off season. Berbatov did not just deliver more of the same; he did something Ferguson arguably relishes even more. He scored a brilliant hat-trick to give his manager the domestic victory he cherishes above all others– and the opportunity to indulge in a familiar pastime of Liverpool-baiting.
The win moved the Red Devils to seven points back of Liverpool and four back of Chelsea with two games in hand. United is now unbeaten in its last seven Premier League matches.
