"Manchester United won the Premier League in 2008-09 and 2010-11, two of Sir Alex Ferguson's last three titles. Ferguson won 13 league titles in all during his time in charge of Man United and led generations of elite players through the most dominant period of the club's history. There were a handful of players who were a little bit different, who played with an extra twinkle in the eye, and two-time title winner Dimitar Berbatov was certainly one of those."
"I was playing for CSKA Sofia and I was really starting to show my qualities, Berbatov said. The best features, fun and footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. Normally, when you show your quality as a player, teams will come for you, submit offers, ask how long do you have as a contract, how much do you cost to buy, and stuff like this."
"Berbatov found himself at the centre of a different approach when a teammate drove him to a restaurant to meet a friend' with questionable intentions. On one table, there was a guy by himself. And on three others tables, there were big guys, refrigerators, typical Balkan guys behind him, just looking scary, he told Ferdinand."
Dimitar Berbatov experienced a frightening transfer gambit as a teenager while playing for CSKA Sofia, being driven to a restaurant and confronted by intimidating men. The incident occurred before his move to England and preceded a distinguished career at Manchester United. Manchester United secured Premier League titles in 2008-09 and 2010-11 during Sir Alex Ferguson's final dominant years, with Ferguson winning 13 league titles overall. Berbatov became a two-time Premier League winner, developed a reputation as a stylistic heir to Eric Cantona, and contributed to United reaching two Champions League finals.
