Berbatov eyes American return
The Reds’ three-week jaunt across the Atlantic will give fans in Boston, Seattle, Chicago, New Jersey and Washington DC the opportunity to watch Sir Alex’s men in action… and the United players a chance to explore a country that Berbatov admits holds special appeal.
“There are a lot of things I love about America, including the movies. So many great films have been made there. I also like watching the NFL a lot – I don’t have a favourite team but I always watch the Superbowl – and I’ve been to Miami a few times and like that part of the world. When I finish playing I think I’ll go back to America and explore the country a bit more.
“Before then, I’m looking forward to going back with United. The pre-season tour isn’t so much about team bonding – we know each other already and are all very close. It’s more about getting our fitness levels up and preparing for the season so when the first game arrives you’re in top shape.
"If you have a good pre-season you really enjoy the dividends once the real thing kicks off in August.”
