Money Not An Issue For Berbatov

Last updated : 03 September 2008 By Sam
United's new £30.75million striker has said that he moved to Old Trafford because he wanted to play for what he believes to be the best team in the world and to win trophies.

"If I want to play for the money, I would accept the Manchester City offer or Chelsea," Berbatov told MUTV.

"The red shirt is the really big thing for me. I want to play for the biggest club in the world.

"I am 27 now, I am at the biggest club in the world and maybe this could be the last step in my career.

"I know I can develop here in the way I always wanted.

"I always believed. People used to say 'keep the faith'.

"I went through some difficult times and it was a long battle, but I always thought it was going to happen and in the end it did.

"Now I am here and hopefully I will play my part in the team and we can win lots of trophies as well. Trophies are an important thing in football and I want to help this team win more.

"I have handled pressure and expectation all through my life. I am not scared of it. That is why I am here.

"If I do that and play as I have done in my last two years at Tottenham, I don't think there will be any problem."
