Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted to being delighted that United had finally sealed the signing of Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur.

United sealed the signing of the Bulgarian international striker on transfer deadline day by paying Spurs £30.75million for Berbatov with Frazier Campbell going in the opposite direction to White Hart Lane on a season long loan as part of the deal.

"This is a key signing," Ferguson told the official Man United website.

"Dimitar is one of the best and most exciting strikers in world football.

"His style and ability will give the team a different dimension and I am sure he will be a popular player with the fans."
