Agent: United interrested in Berbatov

Manchester United have “expressed an interest” in signing Dimitar Berbatov, according to the Tottenham striker’s agent.

The Bulgaria star’s future has been the subject of speculation for some time, with United strongly linked with a move for the 27-year-old during the January transfer window.

There were reports today that they had made a £20m bid for Berbatov and agent Emil Danchev has revealed United are monitoring the player.

“I can tell with certainty that Manchester United have expressed an interest in Berbatov. I cannot comment on the issue further,” Danchev told Bulgaria’s Darik Radio.
