As a Bulgarian I am proud of him, but he was so heavily criticized from our media because of the national team. The whole nation was expecting him to score at least 3 goals a match and carry alongside Martin Petron and Stiliyan Petrov. That was unfair. We treated him so badly. While ManU and Totenham's fans loved him more than his own nation. Well I am not sure about Totenham anymore, but ManU's fans loved him as far as I was seeing. He just had such a unique slow paced, intelligent look over the game. Kinda reminds me of Zidane. I remember talking to my father one day and he said: "There's something about him. He is always on the right place at the right time. Like the ball wants to go towards him so he can score". Viewing this clip just makes me confirm that and seeing the good comments just makes me proud that he was the last Bulgarian world class worthy player.

@spd-kv6sd

Since you're a Villa fan, I guess you should know they are best friends with Stiliyan Petrov. When Berbatov came to CSKA Sofia Stiliyan was the first man to talk to him and get him into the way the team was playing. Later they continued their friendship and transferred their common plays in the Bulgarian national team. Shortly after Stan was diagnosed with leukaemia Berbatov published a letter he had been writing to him for all the years both had been playing football. Now Berbatov is a candidate for president of the Bulgarian Football Union with Stan being one of his assistants. Even if I am a Man United fan, I am a Bulgarian before all. And I also will never forget what Stiliyan Petrov did for this team. Both of them were more than awesome players. Stan, the tenacious box-to-box midfielder, who never stops running and wanting the ball. And Berbatov, the striker, who always was two moves before the defenders and always knew what to do with the ball before even touching it. Legends forever. So sad Bulgaria no longer has players like them.

Many times he was called "lazy player" , but the truth is he just knew how to manage his energy and stamina.

Manchester United when they played like this were the best team in the world in my opinion. Look at the crisis they're in now

One of the biggest mistakes of Sir Alex was to not play this man in the final of the Champions League (2010-11). He decided to choose players like Hernandez and Owen, over prime Berbatov. I am pretty sure that if the Bulgarian played that night, United could have had a bigger chance of winning it. The downfall of United started, when this man was thrown away for players like Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez.

Incredible skills and vision for the game. The amazing talent of placing himself on the right spot at the right time and scoring unique goals. Well done Berbo

In my early years what made me watch football and become a Manchester United fan was Berbatov. By that time he had moved on to United and my dad watched every game he played. His insight into the game and his incredible first touch impressed me every time. And since then, for over 10 years, I have continued to support my beloved team even though we are not as strong anymore

Most of mu fans love him. I just feel the club should talk about him more / consider him as one their legends bcoz he is the first player to score a hattrick against liverpool after 64 years and the bicycle kick was pure genius .

No other player with the casual brilliance and the results, that Berbatov has.

Greatest forward I’ve ever seen play, I became a Spurs fan because of him. That season at Spurs was in my opinion his best but I loved seeing Man U play thanks to him as well. So smooth with all his touches.

@Kamen Braykov Why are Bulgarians so biased towards Berbatov? He was no Stoictkov, he achieved nothing with Bulgaria national team, he never won the champions league and for ManUtd he was Berbaflop, a waste of 30million. That goal at 2:12 was his only ManUtd goal against a top5 team in his 4 seasons at the club so definitely no statue for him sorry only legends get statues. He never won the FAcup either and he singlehandedly cost ManUtd at least 2 FAcup's in semi-finals 2008/09 & 2010/11 and those 2 seasons were actually much better ones from him compared to his other 2 and 2009/10 overall he was abysmal and played a part in destroying ManUtd's bid to win a record 4th PL title in a row, played in the 3rd round FAcup match vs Leeds where ManUtd lost to the 3rd tier team at home, scored no champions league goals etc...He only scored 5 champions league goals altogether in 4 seasons and they were all group stage goals, 2 vs Aalborg in his first season 08/09, 2 at home to Celtic same season and then his next and last was 3 years later in his final season at home to Benfica which still wasn't enough to get through the group. So no important champions league goals or performances worth mentioning. His best season 2010/11 Hernandez was still ManUtd's most important striker. He scored just 1 less overall but scored in a lot more games than Berbatov and many close games. A quarter of Berbatov's goals that season came in 1 game vs Blackburn in a 7-1 win which sums him up because it was a game ManUtd would've won anyway without his goals but when it's a much more important time where he has some really good chances vs a better team at 0-0 he misses them, fails to score any and ManUtd go on to narrowly lose.

Magician on the pitch. So unpredictable and clever with the ball at his feet. Absolute legend. He made me proud to be a Red Devils fan. Incredibly skillful and a talented player. Charisma and field influence/presence unreal. Football was epic and beautiful in this era unlike today unfortunately. It's all about greed now. It's not the same as it used to be. Most badass, stylish and masterclass footballer ever.

Berbatov what a brilliant and genius of a player. Peace!

for some reason Berbatov and Rooney just seems so coordinated together. Both of them had little to no selfishness. Unlike most of the scoring title strikers, both of them are willing and happy to assistant others. Even with greats such as Messi or C Ronaldo, there is still moments you would say may be they should pass that. But with Berbatov and Rooney, its just seems they always making the right choice at the right moment.

Super efficient and effective striker

As Saying said, 'We only appreciate things after we lose it' Looking at Berbatov, we need someone like him now to mature up our young striker; Rashford, Martial and Greenwood I am very happy with Ole choice to build the team around the youngster, however, we need them to mature up and be more clinical in front of goal, cause thats what we needed in these past 3 games Thus, I would love Man Utd to get Ibrahimovic back to the team (on loan), to train, to lead and provide experience and maturity not just to the team and youngsters but for us at the front Who's with me? 😁
