Biography:
Dimitar Berbatov is a professional Bulgarian footballer who currently plays his club football for Manchester United in the UK. After a season long pursuit from Manchester United; Dimitar Berbatov finally signed a Manchester United contract on transfer deadline day September 1st 2008. Man Utd paid out £30.75 million for Dimitar Berbatov and in the move Fraiser Campbell also went the other way in a season long loan to Tottenham Hotspur. As a part of the transfer deal, Tottenham Hotspur also agreed to cancel an official complaint they had against United over Man United's transfer hounding of Berbatov in the 12 months leading up to the transfer.
Manchester United have been seeking his signature all summer, and just as they seemed to be getting ever closer to attaining his signature the worst possible thing happened; Manchester City entered the fray and had an offer accepted by Tottenham for the player. Despite City's offer being accepted however, United was the side that Berba wanted to sign for and it was there that he went to have further discussions with the club. United left it very late to secure the deal, a minute before midnight and Berbatov signed however and information was released of Berbatov's confirmed transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Manchester United. Manchester City meanwhile had to settle for Real Madrid's Robinho in an equally excellent transfer move which saw the club shell out £34 million and beat Chelsea to signing the highly sought after Brazilian.
Berbatov has said of the move that "Joining United is a dream come true for me"; he's always wanted to play Champions League football and this season he will get a chance to with English champions and current Champions League trophy holders Manchester United.
