Dimitar Berbatov explains turning down Man City transfer to join Manchester United

Dimitar Berbatov has revealed he rejected the chance to join Manchester City and joined United instead. The Bulgarian striker moved to Old Trafford in a £30million deal in 2008 from Tottenham. "In my mind, it was never [close to a City move]," he told MUTV. "Because in that time, for me, it was about reaching my personal top, and that was Man United at that time. "When you see the shirt, the red shirt, the badge, the history, the players, the managers... I mean, you fell in love immediately. "My agent said, 'We have the interest from Man City' but I said, 'Man, please, you know where I want to go, just one way'." It was hardly a difficult choice for Berbatov, as for all City's new-found riches, they still floundered some way behind their neighbours. Source: The Mirror
