Ferguson confident of signing Berbatov as United confirm bid

MANCHESTER UNITED manager Alex Ferguson yesterday confirmed he fully expects to prise striker Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham by the end of the summer.

Ferguson revealed the Premier League champions have already made an offer for the Bulgarian, who scored 23 times for the Londoners last season.

The Scot is confident the former Bayer Leverkusen danger man can add a new element to an already deadly United attack and finally turn attention away from the protracted Cristiano Ronaldo transfer saga.
