Whilst later denying the comments had anything to do with him, Nemanja Vidic was reported to have a go at life in Manchester. He now feels at home apparently, but the initial comments didn’t go down well with us. By and large, us Mancs are fairly precious about our city, hailing it above any other, so didn’t appreciate these comments which tore a strip off us about it.
Dimitar Berbatov knows how to keep us sweet though and has claimed that despite the weather, he prefers life up north to the south, and is loving life at Manchester United.
“People talk about the north and the south but I don’t make comparisons like that, I am just interested in my football,” said Berbatov. “People says it is not sunny here and it rains all the time but that doesn’t bother me. I like it the way it is. In fact, I like it better here. I am not a guy who looks for places with a lot of people and traffic. London was crazy anyway, so I used to live out of town. Here it is more peaceful. But the city is secondary to the team I play for. Now I play for the biggest team in the world, so it doesn’t matter where I live. I am very happy and things are going well. My dream was to come here, now I can see how the biggest stars are working and I can compare and measure myself against the best.”

Dimitar Berbatov > RESPECT. You’re sheer class.
Scott, you’ve chosen the same picture of Berba’s for this article as me )) interesting ))
i love Berba. from the moment when i heard that we are interested in signing him i wasn’t very pleased about him. then i began to like this idea.
now i am begining to like him more and more.
honest, modest guy. just like Scholesy ?
berba is a legend already… maybe ronaldo and tevez need to listen to what he’s got to say and learn from him instead of havin dreams about madrid and shit….berba is a true united player born to wear the shirt… oh and one more thing..
redgister u scouse cunt… how about u go and try to find urself a job in ur shitty mersyfuck side instead of making comments about players from a team that is too big for the likes of u and all the scouse scum in ur fucked up area…
Red_Army –
Sir Matt Busby was a legend,
Sir Alex Ferguson is a legend in his own time,
Duncan Edwards could have been a legend,
Bobby Charlton was a legend while his compatriots, George Best and Denis Law, were also legendary players,and,
now, Paul Scholes are in the final stages of great, great careers, while,
it would be argued by many that Brian Robson, Eric Cantona, and Roy Keane deserve this kind of recognition, too.
These guys have all been fabulous superstars, recognized as being a cut above the ordinary superstars of their time.
But, please, Dimitar Berbatov ? Don’t confuse years and years of top-flight service to the cause with three months of mediocrity, so far. To call Berbatov a “legend” is simply to debase the currency of greatness.
DENTON DAVEY, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.RED_ARMY, IF YOU SAY BERBA IS A LEGEND, THEN YOU HAD BETTER FIND ANOTHER NAME FOR PEOPLE LIKE SIR BUSBY, SIR ALEX, SCHOLES, GIGGS, KEANO, ROBBO, KING ERIC, SIR BOBBY. IF YOU CALL THOSE ONES LEGENDS, THEN FIND ANOTHER NAME FOR BERBA OR CALL BERBA a legend and find anothe name for those ones.
@ denton davey – gotta agree with that.
The lad is making the right noisy, lets just hope he BECOMES as legend. Starting with a very good performance tomorrow.
U Ni Ted
Berbatov is a great player with a great attitude towards our club, but he’s not been here long enough to be a legend and even then it takes alot to become a legend at this club.
Glad to see he likes it in Manchester, i love being a Manc so its nice to here that someone thats originally from Bulgaria likes Manchester aswell and come on it doesn’t rain thattttt much people dont half go on
He never has seemed the sort of bloke thats into the “glitzy” or rather tacky side of London nightlife. Glad to hear these comments. Got a feeling tomorrow will be his and Rooneys day. Come on United!
He is certianly a class act, but by christ he would have to perform 20 fuckin miracles last minute game winners and cover 20km a game this season to even be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Best, Charlton, Robbo, Roy Keane and Eric Cantona. there again if he scores 20 goals in the second half of the season and bags the winner against say the dippers in the champions league final, hell I’ll call him a legend then.
If I was in Berba’s position (obviously with his footballing ability too..) I’d be pretty happy!
I’d save all my money for one of those rainy days… that’d keep me pretty sweet!
