Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov has sent a Liverpool warning to his old side. Berbatov was speaking in an interview with talkSport. Liverpool made their way back to the top of the tree last season to secure their first title in 30 years and Berbatov now insists the Reds are 'dictating the tempo' in the Premier League. Asked if United are making progress under Solskjaer, Berbatov sighed and said: "Probably small steps which sound really ironic, funny, sarcastic if you want because not long ago United were always considered the team who were going to be near the top. Now it's a bit like, 'can we qualify for the top four?' This is now considered a success and it shouldn't be like this. "But now times are different and Liverpool is the team that is dictating the tempo in the Premier League and in Europe as well. If United want to develop and get better they need to try and catch up to Liverpool because at the moment they are producing the best football." Berbatov was also asked about the Premier League title race and he quickly name-checked Liverpool. He added: "Liverpool is up there if they continue the way they are playing. And now with Thiago coming in they are going to become even better as a team with creativity. They are the team you should watch out for."
