10 Players Who Probably Regret Leaving Manchester United

6. Dimitar Berbatov

Media Image LtdMedia Image LtdThe languid striker has been an enigma throughout his footballing career: he has long been much maligned for his 'lazy' playing style, although he is equally adept at playing majestic passes and scoring brilliant goals as he is infuriating fans with his less than obvious commitment. Somewhat typically, throughout his time at United, he frustrated and delighted in equal measure, although he always had a regular starting place. Berbatov was bought from Spurs in 2008, where he had a very successful period and scored a lot of goals, and he was initially a great success at United, even if his price tag was somewhat limiting. Towards the end of his time at United, he got left out in favour of Rooney and the more energetic Javier Hernandez, but since leaving the club in 2012 for Fulham, things have not been quite the same for the slender Bulgarian. At Fulham he was the main man but his scoring rate declined and he got even 'lazier', which pushed him out of favour, amid accusations that he was inching for a move, which he eventually got 2 years later to Monaco, where he seems destined to fade into obscurity. He is not getting any younger and the best years of his career were at United.
