Berba puts best foot forward
The Bulgarian opened the scoring at Old Trafford, his second in two matches this season, and together with Scholes stole the headlines from misfiring Rooney who was substituted after 71 minutes having failed to open his account for the new season.
United fans should not be unduly worried, however, because Rooney’s performance included plenty of positive moments and Berbatov appears to be warming to Alex Feruguson’s suggestion that this ‘could be his season’.
