The Lazy Bulgarian has endured a lot of criticism for his style of play and lack of work ethic, but this is no time to look back on his United career and label him a failure. No, this is the time to appreciate a player who brought back the innocence of the beautiful game in all it’s resplendent glory. Someone who, with the nonchalant grace and elegance of a ballet dancer, glided around Old Trafford while making supporters fall in love. It is impossible to put into words the pure unadulterated joy of having watched Berbatov play in a United shirt for the last 4 seasons. The end may be heart-breaking, but the journey has been breath-taking. A true genius
“I am a relaxed guy. I play that way and I can’t change my style. I watch games and see guys who panic on the ball – they look so nervous. I can be calm, because I sometimes know what I want to do before the ball comes to me." - Berbatov describes his style of play in 2009
