Sir Alex Ferguson has not kept his promise to Dimitar Berbatov, the attacker told Manchester United’s website. He said he would give him a one-week break due to the stress of the late transfer on September 1, 2008, but then threw him straight into the Liverpool derby just 12 days after the transfer from Tottenham.
“We were chasing Liverpool in the titles. They were 18 years old, we were 17 years old. Sir Alex was with me when we finished the transfer. It happened at the last possible minute, it was very frustrating. And he himself suggested: Berba, I know you are under a lot of stress, but with all done, I promise you a week off so you can get back together. I thought it was good. At the time I signed his words were: Ok, get ready. Next game with Liverpool “My first thought was: where did my vacation go But in the end, everything went well. As you get closer, it’s the game, the more you feel nervous, tense, but you also become impatient. You start to learn about this confrontation between the two teams, about the history of the derby. The expectation of winning the match, presenting yourself at the level. Everything is going up when I hit the ground the first time. Everything was new to me, “says Berbatov.
Berbatov’s debut was a bit unsuccessful: he helped Carlos Tevez 1-0 in the 3rd minute, but then United lost after Wes Brown’s goal and Ryan Babel’s goal. Liverpool won 4-1 in the March game, but United finally won the league title at the end of the season.
